Does itchy little spots on the eyelids of an infant need medical attention?
Patient: My 6 month old son has lots of little spots on the upper and lower eyelid of one eye which some days seem worse than others. He often tries to rub his eye, which I stop if I see him doing it, but I think he may also do it during his sleep at night. I don t know if he s rubbing his eye because it s itchy and sore, or if he s making it itchy and sore because he s rubbing it. He also occasionally has a slow blink in the same eye. Is it worth bothering my GP with? Doctor: Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly.
