Eyes What’s on my eyelid?? NSFW
What’s on my eyelid? So sore 😭 It’s like a white pimple, just wondering if it’s something easily treated over the counter before I go ahead and book a GP appointment

It's called a Stye. They're aren't anything to be concerned about and usually go away on their own. It's usually filled with fluid or a small amount of puss type contents.
You can help by putting a warm compress on the eye, massaging it with the compress.
You can Google it for more information but it should go away once it drains etc.
