I have a weird pimple like thing on my eye-lid, can you get a pimple there?

Question

It's toward the bottom close to where my eye lashes start. It hurts sometimes and sometimes I can feel it's there. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be?

Answer 1

Yes, its a stye, and they hurt!!! Dont worry, it will go away eventually all on its own, just like any other pimple.

"Most styes will drain on their own though this may be accelerated with a hot or warm compress, or by pulling out the eyelash. Styes typically resolve within 1 week with treatment. While a stye is technically a pimple and can be popped, doing so is not recommended without technical expertise[5] due to their proximity to the eye. Styes may also cause a bruising feeling around the eye which can be treated with a warm cloth. Doctors recommend making a solution of diluted baby shampoo to apply to the eye, to clean the infection out.

Medical professionals will sometimes lance a particularly persistent or irritating stye with a needle, to accelerate its draining.[6] A stye's spread or expansion can also be fought with the use of antibiotic ointment akin to Neosporin[7] (e.g. Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment), a special version being available for styes, which can be applied in a ribbon along the lid, on either inside or out. Medical professionals may also prescribe Amoxicillin for over a period of a week.[8]

If a stye bursts care must be taken to cleanse the wound to prevent infection.

Contact lenses should never be worn during treatment for a stye. Eye makeup can be worn but is not recommended."

Answer 3

I get those too. It's just a clogged pore. So it is kinda like a pimple, even if it isn't all juicy and red like real pimple.

Take a hand towel and run it under some hot hot water, then squeeze out the excess water. Gently rub it on the eyelid - don't press on your eye. The hot steam will help open the pore, and the slightly rough texture to the cloth will loosen and exfoliate the bump. Do this a couple times a day and it should go away.

In the future, be careful about removing ALL your eye makeup.

Answer 4

It's sounds like you may have a stye, which resembles a pimple on your eyelid, but is actually a staphylococcal bacterial infection. It forms when the gland in the eye becomes infected. It should only last a few days. You can speed the healing process by applying warm compresses, like a face cloth with warm water, to your eye several times a day. However, it it remains for a month or more and becomes like a hard ball, it may be a chalazion. Both a stye and chalazion are relatively harmless, but if you are very uncomfortable, or still unsure of what is on your eye, you should definately see a doctor. I doubt it is a pimple. :) Good luck!

Answer 6

It could be an infected eyelash follicle. The best thing that I could tell you is not to touch it, and if you must, put a warm compress over the pimple to bring it to a head quicker so that it can pop naturally and therefore take care of the aggrivation. Do not pop it with your fingers, or rub it, or do anything else of that nature, you could irritate it even worse and then you could have some bigger problems. If it doesn't clear up, I would still see a doctor though.

Answer 7

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 8

A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a gland within the skin. Typically, this lump grows over days to weeks and is occasionally red, warm, or painful.
The gland involved in the formation of a chalazion is a modified sweat gland that lies within the eyelid. This gland produces oil. When this gland becomes blocked, it can rupture and the inflammation process begins.
Inflammation is a process in which the body reacts to a condition and produces a biologic reaction. This reaction can cause swelling, redness, pain, or warmth.
A chalazion is not a sty. A sty can resemble a chalazion in the sense that it is also a lump in the eyelid. However, a sty involves glands and eyelash hair follicles that are closer to the skin surface of the eyelid. In addition, a sty is usually more painful and looks infected.

Answer 9

It could be a sty. Sty is just a pimple on the eyelid.
If it doesn't go down you should see a Dr.

They can give you an ointment that will make it go away.

They are irritating and painful but not particularly dangerous.

Answer 10

It is a sty and I've had them before. I've had people tell me to like rub a penny and stuff on it to make it go away faster...yeah that doesn't work so dont try! But don't poke around on it, thatll make it worse. Either wait it out or put a hot wash cloth on it several times a day.
