Itching In The Eye, Redness In The Skin Attached To The Caruncular. Solution?

Hello, about 3 nights ago I was laying in bed and my right eye randomly started to itch really bad. I tried to not itch it but it was uncontrollable. I put a warm wash cloth on it, used eye drops and eventually the itch stopped and I also had fallen asleep. The next day the caruncular was swollen, along with my upper eyelid. I also noticed that when I pulled my eyelid down, the skin that is attached to the caruncular but down more was very red.. It's been 3 days and its not getting any better, and also last night when I got back into bed again it started itching again. I don't have any allergies that I know of. I washed my bedding today to see if that helps at all. Not sure what to do. I have a picture of my eye I could send.

Welcome to HCM portal.
There appears to be some kind of infllamation in that region,apparently it is mild so it does not bother you all the time.You would do well to give it a warm compress twice a day for 5 mts and put in astringent drops and since it does not appear to be very severe body defenses will take over and you will be fine
