General Practice Questions Pink eye

What should I do if I have pink eye?

So I was washing my face yesterday and I rubbed my eye with a towel. Today it's red in the corner of my eye for some reason. And I'm really concerned about it. Is it pink eye?

No, you just irritated the eye. It should go away without treatment.
Trauma from rubbing. It should clear up shortly. If not see your eye doctor soon.
