My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.

This looks like a lid margin infection. Ciplox (CIPROFLOXACIN) eye ointment is to be applied twice a day. This should resolve the infection. If not controlled then oral antibiotics and anti inflammatory medication can be given.

Let me know if you've any further queries

Regards
