Good morning, I have a recurring change every 2 weeks under one eye on the lower eyelid. There is exudate, the skin is pulled down, there are about 2 small dots and a balloon of swelling under the eyelid. Big discomfort, terrible appearance, shame to go out among people. I do not know what it is, who to report it to, whether to an ophthalmologist or a dermatologist. It takes 2 months . Before the visit takes place and the deadlines are long, what can I use?

The changes described by you may be related to various diseases, it is difficult to clearly determine on the basis of such a short description. To make a diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment, it is probably necessary to visit a specialist - an ophthalmologist, since the problem affects the eye area (eyelid). The first step is to see your family doctor. If you are unable to get to your primary care doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to get a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja In the meantime, you can try using over-the-counter preparations that can help relieve symptoms: BlephaClean eyelid hygiene wipes: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/107112/blephaclean-chusteczki-do-higieny-powiek-chusteczki/apteki Posiforlid eye mask: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/98166/posiforlid-maska-na-oczy-inne/apteki Zaspray soothing eyelid spray: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/117310/zaspray-lagodzacy-spray-na-powieki-aerozol/apteki Warm compresses lasting for 10-15 minutes, several times a day, can also help. The eye area can be warmed up by putting a compress on the eyelids or by sticking a small glass container (e.g. a medicine bottle) filled with warm water. The eyelid can also be massaged (with a finger, the edge of the bottle, a spoon, etc.). During the massage, the closed outlets of the sebaceous glands are unblocked. The massage is always carried out towards the mouth of the glands in the edge of the eyelid, i.e. in the upper eyelid from top to bottom, and in the lower eyelid – from bottom to top. The action and composition of individual drugs can be checked by clicking on the attached links on the gdziepolek.pl website, which also allows you to book them at the nearest pharmacy.
