Red Spot On Eyelid, White Scab Formed, Not Painful. How It Will Heal?
Hi,
A few days ago, I woke up with a red spot on my left eyelid. Over the next day or so, a white scab has formed over the spot. The scab does get a bit dry, but is not painful at all. I'm wondering A) If I should be worried about anything and B) should I be putting anything on it to help it heal or should I just leave it be ?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If it is not giving any pain to you, then it is better not to tamper it, it is on the eye lid so no need to worry about vision still I would advise you to see the ophthalmologist, if it increases in size and becomes tender, take care of your self have good day
