Answer 2

It does sound like a stye. See your doctor to make sure. You can usually get rid of a stye with moise heat. Hold a wash cloth under hot water, squeeze then apply over your eye until it cools.

See below:

Treatment includes:

-styes can be treated at home by applying a very warm, wet, clean wash cloth to the tender area. This moist heat application should be done about four times a day, for about ten minutes at each treamtent. This will aid in the supporation of the stye. Supporation is the forming of a head on an infection. The leukocytes (or white blood cells), travel to the infection to fight it. The heat from the warm, moist compresses speeds up the leukocytes' travel, thus fascilitating the forming of the head on the stye. Once the stye ruptures, the pressure is relieved and the pain and swelling subsides. Never put your fingers in your eye. Your hands are full of germs. If you see a doctor, he may prescribe some antibiotic cream for the stye. There are also over the counter topical medications for the stye, which are mostly made up of petroleum jelly and other emollients to keep the eye moisturized. Non-prescription products, however, cannont treat the infection associated with a sty, but can get temporary relief of its symptoms, including burning, stinging and itching. Rarely styes require lancing by a doctor.

There are other home remedies that include tumerin and alum...but I would see a doctor before using anything like that.

Good luck! And don't pick it no mater what!!!!

Answer 3

This is your best answer! I have had a few of these, they are called "milia", which are small, harmless cysts and are very very common. You can google it for more info. If they are in the eye area, I highly recommend you having a dermatologist remove it. It is an easy procedure. Sometimes they just open and go away on their own. I do not recommend removing it yourself if it is that close to your eye. Good luck

Answer 4

Most likely that this is a blocked pore or hair follicle it can be gently opened with a scalpel and the contents expressed no sutures would be needed and it will heal in 4 days

Answer 5

It sounds like a Stye - you could go to a dermotologist and have it removed. I think over time they disappear on their own.

Answer 6

Stick a needle in it then squeeze it. If anything comes out keep squeezing til you get it all out.

Answer 7
