Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Please do not rub your eyes. In all probability it is blepharitis or infection of eye lid or a stye. You will need antibiotic eye drops, good personal hygiene, and maybe anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic for this. Please consult an eye specialist. Also please do not share things like as it can be contagious.
Take care!

Extremely contagious, it spreads easily by eye to hand to eye contact, a runny nose or cough, or when people come into contact with a contaminated surface or object. If severe enough or long lasting, it can eventually lead to corneal scarring that can cause glare and decreased vision. Experts recommend not going to work or school if you have sore eyes or symptoms of sore eyes until symptoms are relieved and treatment is successful.
