Hello,
About a month ago I noticed red bumps on the side of my scrotum and they also started to appear in my inner thigh as well. I used hydrocortisone cream and it the bumps seemed to get better but what I'm left with now is my entire scrotum and penis are red and a bit sensitive to touch. It's not alot of pain and no itching at all and I have no raised bumps or rash. The skin has just turned red.

Doctor has prescribed Bacitracin Ophthalmic Ointment USP and Systane. He says it is a matter of dry eye. I live in Las Vegas. However, I have faithfully used the ointment for over a week, and I don't see an improvement. I replaced the Systane with another dry-eye drop because the Systane seemed to irritate my eye further. I'm reaching the point of sheer terror, and the appearance of my eye is effecting the work I do.
You could certainly try a short course of Tobradex ophthalmic ointment to the affected lid skin. If the condition has not improved in about a week or 10 days, I would have an ophthalmologist examine your child.
The day after that, i woke up having yellow discharge from my eye, i visited my doctor and she gave me Gentamicin sulfate ointment 0.3% Ophthalmic. I used it for 10 days up to now, at the beginning, it worked very well, but know, I have the infection back, specially in the mornings when I wake up. what do u guys think that I should do?

Thirdly,it can be a contact dermatitis to lipsticks.Take some over the counter antihistaminic like benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
Avoid licking the lips as saliva evaporates quickly resulting in them being drier than before.

Other therapy with topical calcipotriene, tacrolimus 0.1% ointment (under occlusion) and imiquimod 5% cream may also be useful. PUVA and photodynamic therapy is also found to be useful.

I'm currently coing through the same problem only i didn't have any pain my optimologist gave me a perscription antibiotic and told me to take a warm washcloth cover my eyes for 5 minutes then wash my eye lids out with a warm washcloth and baby magic bath.
My eyelids are too sensative for the baby magic bath but the medicine realy helped and the warm washcloth feels real nice.
Ask your pharmacist if he has generic 5% sodium chloride ophthalmic ointment. Muro or the generic ointment does not raise eye pressure. It is hypertonic saline, designed to pull fluid osmotically from the swollen cornea.
After the redness persisted, I started using antibiotic ophthalmic eye-ointment; this made the redness stop. My right eye is still nowhere near as open as it was before, however. There also is nowhere near as much irritation or anything of the sort. I'm really worried and don't know what to do; I was hoping someone could tell me some info regarding a similar situation before my ophthamologist appointment.
