Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have developed blepharitis. Typically this is treated with warm compresses, eyelid scrubs and antibiotic ointments.

Unfortunately, without examining you, it would be impossible to make this diagnosis, and it would be best for you to see your primary care physician, your eye doctor or an urgent care clinic to confirm the diagnosis.
