Hello Though the photo is not clear but it looks like lid infection Try A.  Warm compresses B apply antibiotic ointment like moxifloxacin twice daily over lid margins Having said that it is provisional diagnosis I would recommend you to consult local Ophthalmologist and get proper eye examination done Regards
