    Default Ow, my eye :(

    I have a red, slightly swollen spot by the tearduct of my right eye. There's no lump and the redness isn't really obvious, but it is slightly swollen and it hurts. I've had this a time or two before (a long time ago) and it just clears up on it's own... but what the heck IS it?

    Could it be the start of a stye?

    I had one of those a couple of years ago. It sucked but went away after a couple of days.

    I don't know. Ive had them before and I never got an actual bump. This one started yesterday and there's still no bump.

    I know you can by medicine at the drug store for styes. Maybe give that a shot?

    Most of the medicine is just a reliever of symptoms but not the problem. I've had a boat load of styes before. Its not fun. If it gets worse go to the doc. I didn't take care of one one time and it just got small and stayed in my tear duct for years. It's actually still there.

    It sounds like a stye. I have had a painful one that was actually under the eyelid... So I couldn't see anything but it was painful. They go away pretty quickly, though.

    Definately sounds like it might be a stye. I had one a month ago. I had to get prescription eyedrops (Ofloaxcin) to make it go away..

    Hm, it's going away now... Just getting less red and swollen. Not really painful. But, it's really itchy now. Icing it seems to help.

    I've posted this before, but it's useful info.

    I had really bad styes for years, until I went to an eye doctor. He said styes were caused by bacteria ( usually not removing makeup completely, wearing makeup too much, other causes). Baby shampoo on a warm washcloth, wash often, and tada! I haven't gotten one since.

    ^Omg, I'm quoted!

    It's pretty much gone now... I guess it was some version of a stye. At least it went away before I had to work next.
