I think I have a chemical burn under my eye, what should I use on it??

long story short, i got a cut by the inside of my eye last week, I didnt want it to scab over and didnt have any neosporin around or anything for that matter, but (blush) I did have some clear hemeroid cream (yea... i know....) and figured good enough, just needed to cover it w/ something. Was fine for a day or so, then when I was out I got some offbrand tripple antibiotic cream. I put it over it (just put it on in hte truck, so I didnt wash and remove all the hemeroid cream that was worked in). next morning I woke up to a big swollen area under my eye and chaffing on the inside of hte nose/eye area where hte cut was. I scrubbed off all the ointments, and just applied hte regular tripple, it's been over a week the swelling went down on the second day, but I still have a dark spot under my eye (almost like a black eye), and the skin is chaffing and crinkly. Did I get some sort of chemical burn mixing? or perhaps a bad tripple cream?? What do I need to put on it, no insurance, so no Doc

I don't know if you have a burn. Only a Dr could tell you that. Honestly, I wouldn't mess with my eyes. I don't have insurance at the moment either so I can relate. If it's at all possible financially, go to one of those walk-in places. Where I live they're called Patient First. It's cheaper than you might think and they are able to handle everything within their facility. Or, check online to see if you have a free or reduced clinic in your area. Also, call a pharmacy and ask the Pharmacist if the ingredients could be dangerous to your eyes. Oh yeah, check your local hospital website. A lot of them have a section on there called "Dial A Nurse" You can email them or call with your question. That's about all I can tell you but you really do need to go to a Dr. Good Luck
Reply:Call a freaking doctor!!! This is not something you want to mess around with. You could go blind. Dont be an idiot and see a doctor!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Boric Acid can be used in the eye, a doctor may prescribe a medicated cream that could help also
Reply:go see a doctor. now.





i don't care how much it costs, if you can't afford it, inform friends/family of your condition and hopefully someone will help you out.





your vision so important, is it really worth risking that?


surely there are things that you can do without in order to save up some money...


all the best, and remember, it's better to be safe than sorry
