How do I get rid of a swollen eyelid?

Question

Hi, I had a pimple on my eyebrow, it was annoying so i scrathed it and popped it, I belive it caused some kinda infection because the next day my eyelid was swollen, I tried different remedies like ice in cloth. It helped but the next day it was even more swollen. I could move my eyelid but not much. So i was wondering how you het rid of it.

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Swelling is one thing, but infection is another. For swelling, eyelid
incisions are most often cleansed with hydrogen peroxide soaked Q-tips. This should be done three to four times a day
during the first week following the procedure. For infection, I suggest you contact for a follow-up appointment the board certified facial plastic surgeon who performed your procedure. Best wishes!

Based on your description, it sounds as though you have an infection. You should make an appointment with your local physician and be treated with a topical or oral antibiotic. Best wishes.
