Please see the photo. I woke up today morning with this condition. Last night my eyes were itching a lot. My left eye is prone to a lot of allergies, infections etc. I frequently get conjunctivitis (approx once every 3 months) in the left eye. And similar infections like this one once in every few months. This portion is also itching. Please advise me what to do. Is it something serious that I need to worry about or should I just apply ointment (my father said it must be just some insect crawling on my face at night which caused this)

It may not be the same thing as you have been experiencing intermitrently in the past. Allergic conjunctivitis is in the eye not on the skin unless the allergen is affecting the skin too, but then it should not be restricted to left eye only and should be seen elsewhere too. It seems to be some skin infection, may be some virus. Watch it if it spreads to adjacent area. That part may get Herpes infection. Report back or consult for more.
If it is recurring after every few months then it needs to be taken care of. It may be happening again and again due to inadequate treatment. Since you are from a place which is fairly humid these days, it may have flaired up the situation. Consult at your convenience for better management.
