“Outer eye corner?”
Hello, my outer eye corners have been burning, feels raw and it's painful to touch and blink. I have some clear sticky discharge coming as well. Is there any OTC medication I can get to help with the burning?

OTC eyedrops will not help if there is an active infection
You need prescription antibiotic with steroid
You may have a small infection or even a sty in the outer corner of your eye. I would suggest that you use a warm compress and even a very small amount of bacitracin ointment. Be careful not to put it into your eye. If the area does not improve, please contact your ophthalmologist or family doctor for an evaluation.
