this could definitely be a stye that just hasn't worked it's way out yet. i would put castor oil on it. my brother had this and i started him with castor oil and it went away pretty quick. just pat some on there and it doesn't hurt your eyes if you get it in them.Replied by Reeni (Jakarta, Indonesia) on 01/17/2010
@Dianna from Austin, Tx. Thanks for your advise. I heard that styes hurt but mine does not, even when I press it. Could it still be a stye?Replied by Sarah (San Diego, Ca) on 01/18/2010
My daughter gets styes and sometimes it is just a swollen area.. nothing red or inflamed that I can see. We always take a green tea bag, soak it in warm water for 30 seconds or so, wring it out so it doesn't drip everywhere, and have her lay down with the green tea bag over her affected eye. Repeat as needed, but it usually only takes a day or two to clear up. :)Replied by Derry (East Greenwich, Ri, Usa) on 05/10/2010
I get styes once in while and have always used a warm tea bag (from a cup of hot tea) on them-an old remedy passed from my Mom.Replied by Wes (Kailua-kona, Hi) on 09/03/2010
I had a Chalazion, and it hung around for about 3 months, until I started putting warm compresses on it.... AND without disturbing the eyeball or inside the lid, I would GENTLY massage it a bit with a dull fingernail (BUT DON'T SQUEEZE IT) just to create movement... And 4 days after I started the procedure, it was gone.... Try to understand that your body is trying to heal it for you, but it just needs a tad of help on this one.... Most of all, believe in the Law of Attraction and know it is not a big deal.... Maybe some eyedrops too, by the way.
