Im not positive that it's a sty. I dont know what it is. I just noticed it today because its bugging me. Every time I blink I can feel it. It doesnt hurt it's just irritating because I can feel it like the feeling you get when you have an eyelash stuck in your eye. It looks like a bump, it the same color as the rest of my eyelid.

Take a clean washcloth and wet it with hot water. Then fold it several times and place it directly on your eye lid. The longer that you keep the compress on your eyelid the smaller the sty will become, but it's going to take a while. As far as I know there's no "fast" way to get rid of a sty.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

How To Get Rid Of A Stye Inside The Eyelid
2016-10-30 05:23:11 · answer #3 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Application of a warm compress or warm washcloth to the affected area for 10 minutes, 4 to 6 times a day, can speed rupture of the sty and aid in the relief of symptoms. A sty should not be pressed or squeezed to facilitate drainage. If a sty persists for several days, a doctor may lance (drain) the infection under local anesthesia in his or her office. Children who require surgical drainage of a sty may need a general anesthetic. Antibiotic ointments and/or steroid ointments sometimes are prescribed to treat a sty. Rarely, systemic (oral) antibiotics are recommended for persistent or multiple styes. Over-the-counter pain medications may be used to alleviate pain and tenderness. Contact lenses and eye makeup should never be worn during treatment for a sty.

NO LIE
fill up a sink or bowl with warm salt water - do not open your eyes but splash it on your face a few times a day. i dont know how it works or why (especially when you don't put it directly in your eye) but it is the only thing i use even for my children who have brought pinkeye home from their friends at school

Mama used to put hot cloths on mine until the busted then we put the original Neosporin ointment on it. If they get too big and don't bust with heat a doc will have to lance it. After reading the answer below me I remembered that we pulled the lashes away from the sty too.

put some gloves on and pull the lashes that are in front of the sty, that could help pop it, and make sure you put a hot rag on before you pull the lashes, the heat will make the sty come to a head

Cold compress or even visine eye drops with antihistamine. Or you can do what I've done in the past..............I scratched it very hard and popped it......yeah it hurt like the dickens but it worked. Then I followed up with the visine w/antihistamine to keep it free and clean of infection.
