I got a Sty the other day (not sure from where) but does anyone know of sure-fire home remedies to get rid of it? I've been putting hot compresses (boiled egg) on it a couple times a day but I've read things like rubbing your eye with a gold ring, using a peeled potatoe, tea bags, etc... Has anyone every tried these remedies?
It is basically almost like a white head. Is a clogged gland. Our eye doctor said to press gently on the area to PREVENT stys. If you have a very small one you can pass and pop it and the gunk is actually good for your eye. But I think you just have to wait the big ones out.
I know it's not recommended, but when I've gotten them before I just scraped them off with my fingernail. Once or twice a long time ago I got one in the MIDDLE of my eyelid, not the edge, where it was not even visible until I really looked hard. That sucked.
Ive got one right now that is just under the eyelid... god I hate these things...but it is starting to go away now after two days of inconvienance. Ive been using some eyedrops that are supposed to help with the irritation, seems to work pretty well..dont remember the name right now...Ill post it after I get home if you still need it
When I had one, I got some of that Sty medicine from CVS and then put heat on it a lot and it eventually went away. Mine was in an area where I couldn't pop it though so if you can I would attempt to do that.
