    yest my bottom eyelid started hurting and i looked there as a stye INSIDE my eye. so then i woke up this morning and there's another on the lid itself on the same eye.

    it hurts like hell. feels like someone hammered a nail in my eye. can't even blink.

    is there anything i can do to make it go away? i just been puttin some warm compress on it to help dilate the blood vessels.

    Quit touching your eyes after you pick your nose.

    Warm compress, that's about it.

    Treatment

    While most styes will drain on their own, this process can be accelerated by the application of a hot or warm compress or by pulling out the eyelash. There is also a specialized Polysporin topical ointment for styes. With treatment, styes typically resolve within one week. While a stye is technically a pimple and can be popped, doing so is not recommended without technical expertise[5] due to its proximity to the eye. Styes may also cause a bruised feeling around the eye, which can be treated through the application of a warm cloth.
    Medical professionals will sometimes lance a particularly persistent or irritating stye with a needle in order to accelerate its draining.[6] A stye's expansion can also be fought with an erythromycin ophthalmic ointment like Neosporin[7], a special version of which is available for styes. Medical professionals may also prescribe Amoxicillin over a period of a week.[8]
    If a stye bursts care must be taken to cleanse the wound to prevent reinfection.
    Contact lenses should never be worn during treatment for a stye. Eye make-up is not recommended, and it is also important to refrain from touching the stye.

    I just had one of those too. As mentioned, use a warm compress and DO NOT wear your contacts. Keep this up for a couple days and they will naturally heal on its own.

    If it hurts, it's definitely a STYE. If it doesn't hurt, it's a chalaizon. I had TWO (yes, TWO) of them things last year. It was FUN grossing out my co-workers... unlike DULL Royals Ego just said. :p
