    Default Sty

    Help you guys...

    Im supposed to go back to work tomorrow but as I was doing my makeup I noticed I have a sty on the underside of my top lashline! It's starting to irritate me and Im afraid it will get bigger. How do I get rid or these?

    Got some info for you from http://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/14636-1.asp

    Treatment for at home is below:

    Most styes go away on their own in 5-7 days.

    * Apply warm compresses 4-6 times a day for about 15 minutes at a time to help the drainage. Keep your eyes closed.
    * Gently scrub the eyelid with tap water or with a mild, nonirritating soap or shampoo (such as baby shampoo). This may help with drainage. Close your eyes as you scrub so you do not injure your eyes.
    * Do not squeeze or puncture the sty. A more serious infection may occur as a result.
    * Discontinue the use of eye makeup as well as eye lotions and creams because they may be infected.
    * Discontinue wearing your contact lenses because the sty may cause an infection to spread to your cornea with the continued use of your contact lenses.

    Oh yea, go ahead and clean your makeup and makeup brushes so that you do not spread it and make it worse. Don't wear anymore makeup until it's healed either, that will just make it worse.

    I had a really bad one last summer...I know how bad it hurts. My eye swelled up and it was embarrassing, but hot compresses really help as CK said. It eventually popped on its own and went away. I find that a majority of them do pop on their own with the help of hot compresses.

    just remember, it's really just a pimple in an inconvenient place. it'll go away on it's own. warm, hot compresses help but since it's in your eye, don't apply any medicines or try to squeeze it. you can use otc eye drops if it starts to irritate your eye.

    It already popped, but it seems it didn't drain fully. So we'll see.I'm applying compresses to it.It's about all I can do right now, flat broke right now. And since I can't wear makeup, I cant go to work, so Im S.O.L. until it decides to go away on its own..

    I have heard, but never tried.....
    cut a potato in half , and put the white part on the sty. Something in the juice is supposed to help soothe.
    Again, I've never tried this myself!
