Thanks :DHealth Question & Answer


Answers:
I highly doubt its pink eye, which is characterized by redness of the eye itself, not the eyelids and surroundings.

Here are the 4 most common causes of eyelid redness:

1. Blepharitis
Symptoms:
* Foreign body in the eye sensation
* Burning eye sensation
* Excessive tearing
* Affecting one or both eyes
* Itching
* Light sensitivity (photophobia)
* Red eyelids
* Swollen eyelids

It is often caused by dandruff, dry eye or oily skin. It can be contagious.

2. Chalazion
Symptoms:
* Red eyelid
* Swollen eyelid
* Painful eyelid
* Itchy eyelid
* Eyelid lump

It is caused by inflammation of a gland within the skin. Most types are not contagious.

3. Rosacea
Symptoms:
# Eye redness
# Eye burning
# Tearing
# Foreign body eye sensation
# Sandy eye
# Eyelid infection
# Inflamed eyelids

It can affect the eyes the way it affects the skin and is an irritation. It is not contagious.

4. Stye
Symptoms:
# Red eyelid
# Swollen eyelid
# Painful eyelid
# Tender eyelid
# Eyelid abscess

They are caused by bacteria in the eye.They are not contagious.

Hope this helps.. it looks pretty bad O.o If its one of these problems, however, I wouldnt worry too much about it being contagious.Health Question & Answer

That definitely doesn't look like pink eye.
It could be some kind of infection, though. Does it hurt.?
If so, you should probably see a doctor. If it doesn't hurt (which would be a miracle since it looks awful) then try moisturizing it with some vaseline or something like that.Health Question & Answer
