What should I do if I have an abscess on my upper eyelid?

The formation of an abscess on the upper eyelid of the eye is usually blepharitis. In the early stages of pus formation, the eyelid is red, swollen and painful, and is usually treated with topical antibiotic eye drops and antibiotic eye ointment. When an abscess is formed, it is important to determine if the abscess is mature, and if it is mature, it should be treated with blepharitis drainage surgery at an eye clinic. If the abscess is immature, do not cut it open prematurely or squeeze it by hand, as this can lead to the spread of inflammation and cause inflammation around the eye, and even orbital cellulitis and sepsis. After excision and drainage surgery, continue treatment with antibiotic eye drops and antibiotic eye ointment, as well as systemic oral antibiotic medication.
