What Causes A White Spot On The Lower Eyelid?

I have a small white spot on the inside of my lower eyelid. In order to see it, I must pull my bottom eyelid outward. I rubbed my eye with a towel that was dirty and had ragweed all over it. my eye instantly became itchy & blurry. I immediately flushed my eye out with water and the itch & blur went away, but now I have this small white spot. It is not painful, but has not gone away, had it about a week now.

Hello,

White spot seems most likely in concern with previous viral or fungal infection through some sort of bug. In my clinic, I do recommend intake of antibacterial, anti fungal and anti inflammatory medications with local application of drops to cure the infection at earliest and prevent secondary damage to eye. Keep splashing of eyes with cold water till the medical help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
