Anyone ever had one of these?
A couple of days ago I got a headache and I felt around my forehead and eyes and noticed that when I pushed in a certain spot, it hurt like a bastid. The next day, something popped up that resembled a pimple. So I just assumed that's what it was and it would clear up in a few days or whatever.
Last night, it hurt so bad that I tried to pop it. I even took a needle to it and it didn't work.
It's really hard and sore. Blah. It doesn't obstruct my sight much, but I know it's there and I feel like Sloth (Goonies). Yesterday it was much worse, because my whole eyelid was swelled up. It's not so much today.
I did a little research with the symptoms on the web and came up with pages and pages of information on Styes.
Of course, if it gets really really bad I will see a doctor. But I would prefer to self-treat for something like this. I've heard that hot washcloths for 15 minutes at a time throughout the day will bring all the crap inside to the surface, causing it to drain on its own. So, I'm going to start that in a bit.
If anyone has had one of these, or know anything about them... What else works? A couple of pics are below so you can see where it's located. Not sure if they're good enough pics to get a close look at it, though. Any tips to hurry this process along are appreciated.
