So i woke up this morning and i belive i have pink eye. My eye has been itching alot lately and my teacher had it a couple weeks ago. This morning there is a small pink spot under my eye, maybe a bump icant tell. Anyway will a anti-fungal cream get rid of this or do i need to go to the doc asap? I need to get rid of it by friday!

Pink Eye, need help asap!
-
You need a doctor to diagnose it and provide a prescription.
-
As sdp said, you need a doctor's prescription. It's a bacterial infection and needs antibiotic eye cream. Antifungal creams won't work, and aren't designed for use in the eye.
-
Alright im going to head to the doc then, any idea how long it takes to go away?
-
It should be at least getting better by Friday, and with luck it will have cleared up by then.
-
The bump is atleast 1/2 an inch below my eye. Il try to get a pic up later, it itches and all and it has for a few days now. Its not confirmed to be pink eye or a sty i havent got to go to the doc yet. But yeah i will get a pic up later for sure.

A Pink eye infection is usually of the eye itself.. the whites of your eye will be really red. Your eye will usually be itchy, sticky and have discharge. If you have a lump below yuor eye, then I doubt it's pink eye.
-
Hmm any idea what it could be? Il post tomorrow the pic, i never had time to tonight.
-
Let me get this straight .. you have an itchy bump below your eyelid?
-
no my eyes are itchy and my right eye is a bit blurry at times, the bump is pink and hafl an inch below but doesnt itch at all. I panicked about pink eye because my teacher had it so i thought i may have gotten it from school.
-
Is it blurry because there is pus? If so, it's conjunctivitus (pink-eye). The itchiness is also suggestive. A pink bump half an inch below the eye, on the other hand, is probably just a pimple.
-
No pus at the moment, just a bit itchy and it gets blurry every once in awhile. Maybe an infection is starting?
-
Maybe. I think it's high time to see a doctor.
