Erythromycin ointment is perfectly fine to be used on eyelids. If you have a cut or laceration on the eyelid itself make sure that it is kept very clean. If there is a rash on the lid itself you have the option of scrubbing the lids with baby type shampoo that can help get rid of the rash. Please make sure you check with your local ophthalmologist if you are not noticing healing.
