What Causes Feeling Of Having Something Underneath The Eyelid?
I feel like something is underneath my eyelid, and the only way I know how to describe it is it feels almost like a splinter or like a nail clipping or something. I ve used drops and it s not helping. My eye is slightly swollen, and every time I touch it it s pretty painful. Now, on the skin on my top lid, it feels almost like a scab or something crusted on it or maybe even a scratch. Sorry for my horrible explanation, I m not too good at describing things lol!
