I think I'm getting a stye :(

BIG MAN'S ANGEL

I have looked it up on webmd.com and it shows that it starts from a bump right at the top of the eyelid...on the picture on it, it showed a red bump...I do not have a red bump, but there's definitely a bump there and it hurts so bad, especially when I close my eye. Anyone have any insight to my pain? Anyone else have one in the past? What happened? Nurses, help me :(

Styes arent really that serious they just hurt like hell..............kinda like you always have something stuck in your eye. Part of the people that I have seen have resolved on their own, but some of the others have required surgery depending on how troublesome it gets. How long have you had it?

*Naughty Nurse*

It sounds like that's probably what it is...I've had one myself, it never got red, but a bump big enough to look like someone decked ya.......or like you didn't get any beauty sleep after a night of drinking!! :) Typically about 1-2 weeks duration, and just big enough to swell up that corner of the eye. Mine resolved on its own, but you can get antibiotics if it gets bad (real red, and you may have a tough time getting them unless the stye has pus). Sounds great huh? Typically itchy too, but try not to scratch because it'll open. I found ASA helped, both with the pain/irritation, and it did seem to improve the swelling temporarily......unless I was just hoping :)

*Naughty Nurse*

Oh yeah, some people get frequent recurrences. I've been lucky and just had the one.

*Naughty Nurse*

Oh, and no make-up either.....OK, I think that's all I need to add :)

Ibuprofen would work just fine also or Tylenol - if Aspirin upsets your tummy

Thanks for the responses guys...so far it hasn't gotten bigger or red at all...right now its just a small bump right under my eye that hurts to the touch or when I close my eye...gonna take some aspirin and pray that it goes away soon!

Sounds like it should go away just fine on its own....and just like how mine was :)
