i have a red small puffed part on my bottom eyelash of my right eye. it hurts when i close my eye & force it shut. it also itches. on my bottom eyelash its all red & the red small puffed part is towards the inside (next to my nose). my eye also starts to crust @ certain moments. & it hurts like someone punched me on my eye. this is not the first time it has happened. something similar happened a couple of weeks ago. but instead the red small puffed out part was on the outside of my eye. & it would also start to crust & it was harder to open my eye (like my eye was closing in). another similar incident also happened last year in the summer. but my top eyelid swolled up & kept closing in on my eye. everyone thought this one happened because of the abundant amount of chorlene water in the pool. & the other incidents happened cuz maybe i touched a cat & rubbed my eye. but i haven't been near a cat in so long, & that i can remember i haven't rubbed my eye, either.

do not worry dear. It is a stye a simple lid infection.Recurrent stye has to be evaluated.
1)Firstly get your refraction checked if not yet.A refractive error in the eye can cause slight blurring vision and repeated infections like stye.
2)just check your blood sugar level as diabetes can many times be associated with such conditions.
3)simple chloromycetine eye applicaps 4 to 5 times a day and most important hot compresses will give you complete relief.
REMEMBER HOT COMPRESSES 3 TO 4 TIMES A DAY
take care

Go see your doctor or eye doctor. ASAP! Also don't touch them and touch anything else without washing your hands. Pink Eye is VERY, VERY contagious. After you go to the doctor and get meds., make sure that you wash anything that your face has touched since you came down with it. Bed sheets, pillowcase, wash cloth and towel. Spray your couch, car headrest with something that is antibacterial/antimicrobial. That will kill any type of bacteria that is on anything that you've touched and will keep from you or someone that you've come in contact with from getting it.

Well, first of all you should see a doctor. It could be pink eye or a sty. If you can't get to a doctor right away try placing a warm damp washcloth on it. If you touch your eye wash your hands right away. You should also clean your sheets and pillowcases.

Sounds like a pimple or sty. I had pink eye a month ago, my eye was red and almost closed and this yellow goop just kept pouring out and it was very painful!! I got it one afternoon and then it was killing me that night.
