Boil an egg, remove the yolk (yellow part) and have ready sugar, pulverized; fill the place occupied by the yolk and while hot and apply as needed . If too strong, add a little rain water.
Cover the egg with a wet cloth to maintain heat for 10–15 minutes. Apply the compress several times a day. After using the compress, gently massage the infected area.
I know some people that just use the boiled egg only.
Note: Sugar has been used to treat wounds for thousands of years, including during the Napoleonic Wars. Sugar's high osmolarity reduces moisture in the wound, which prevents bacteria from thriving. Sugar also creates a protective layer over the wound and provides energy for cells. Applying sugar to a wound can sometimes cause a burning sensation. This is because the sugar draws moisture out of the wound

I have used a baking soda wash rather than the paste. 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 250ml boiled water. Mix thoroughly and allow to cool. Pour into an amber bottle and shake before use. Wet a cotton swab with the mixture and swipe over the eyelid. Works incredibly well for styes as well as allergy induced issues. ( Dry weepy eyelids due to makeup allergy). I have used this since I was 15 after a pharmacist showed me how to make it for my allergy prone eyes. I am now 52 and nothing beats it.

Got 3 Green tea bags, warmed them up in boiled water. Got my honey ready. I took the Honey, rubbed a small amount over my eye, where the stye was and also along the eyelashes, grabbed the hot Tea bag and got about 90% of the water out of it - placed it on eye and let it sit for about 3 minutes - repeated same process 3X - went to bed! In the morning about 80% gone, so did the same in the morning - by noon 100% gone!
I believe this was even quicker remedy than the baby shampoo in the past and a lot less toxic! When I take showers now, I always allow hot/warm running water to hit my eyes for 15-20 seconds minimum and wash them out - this has seemed to help limit my styes -also using tea tree oil based shampoo and rub on eyelashes too.

I just tried it on my stinging stye and rolled the ring Horizontally and vertically as best as I could for about a few minutes. My stye inside my eye was very very red but I had no bump. This started 24 hours ago. Two hours later I got up for a nap and checked my eye. The redness was practically gone and I had no more sting! It works Brilliantly. I guess rolling it, causes the poor that is stopped up to open up and Wala we get healed.

Once again, earth clinic folks know best. I bet any milk would work but I am fortunately a nursing mother, so I was able to use a dropper with 4 drops or so three times a day.
time line:
monday, what’s that itching in my eye.
tuesday, oh no, it’s a style. First one ever; let google doctoring begin.
Wednesday, it looks like someone punched me. It was a double style: a small one on the bottom eye lash line and a biiigggg one on my eye lid on the inside. Bug white head. At first I tried coconut oil and some other things that did not help or hurt. But as soon as I dropped the milk in like eye saline, I felt a little relief. I was very consistent with it.
on Friday I was driving and at a stop light, when I decided to take a look at it, and it popped as I was looking at it. Pretty gross. But by the end of the day the pain and discomfort was gone and now on Sunday everything looks normal again.

The following day I would get a sty in one of my eyes - always the same eye but I have forgotten which one. Took me a while to join the dots as it were but I would normally NEVER get an eye sty. What was going on? Dashed uncomfortable - felt like a rock in the eye.
Someone alerted me to the fact that there was aluminium (or 'a-luminum' as you say over there) listed in the fine print on the back of said container.
I kicked the thing into touch and have never looked back as it were. Smelly dates were better than styed eyes.
Hope this major scientific discovery of mine helps some other folks as well!
Cheers from Down Under

The next day it was worse. I started to apply coconut oil to my eyelid and continued with the tea bags.
The next day it was worse. Castor oil provided some temporary relief but it was really itchy.
Then I remembered the silver gel I bought. It didn't say not to use around the eyes so I did.
It brought almost immediate relief to the itching. I used it several times a day on Saturday and it was 90% better by Sunday morning. I continued to apply a few times to make sure it was gone.
Today my eye is fine. Next time I will just use the silver first. I was using Silver Shield that I recently mentioned for using on minor burns. I can't wait to see what else it will help!

I've been using ACV to treat sties for years. Bent over the sink, I put a large spoon with ACV in it, up against my CLOSED eye. I'll tilt it a bit making sure I've covered entire eye. I'll hold it there as long as I can-at least a minute. Then rinse my eyes thoroughly with water afterwards. Be careful not to get in the eye because it stings like the dickens, making you literally cry! But, as soon as you flush it out with water, the sting will be gone. To my knowledge, nothing over the counter will heal those sties that fast! Within the day, my eyes feel better. Since using this method, my sty has never gone beyond a day or grown larger! And yes, I learned to use ACV from Earth Clinic. Thank you Earth Clinic, I come to your site often! You've been my faithful doctor for years!!
