What Causes Scabs Under The Eyes That Bleed On Touch?
My daughter got pink eye 4 days ago and was put on gentymicin drops, and now she has scabs under her eyes that bleed at the slightest touch. She does not itch her eyes, and it doesn't seem to bother her. Do you think the medicine may have caused the scabs?

Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having conjunctivitis associated with bleeding scabs under eyes.
This indicates severe conjunctivitis resulting in membranous conjunctivitis.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics depending on the culture and sensitivity.
The treatment has to be aggressive has the infection appears to be very severe.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
