advice
two nights ago i developed a stye and now it's so swollen that i can't open my eye.it on the bottom part of my top eyelid. i've read that the only thing i can do is wait it out and put warm washcloths on it but i don't think it's doing anything. i stayed home today and i missed a final tomorrow if i stay home i will miss two, and three in total. i don't know what to do and i need help fast.
Hey I had the same thing my senior year of high school. I know it's awful.. the only thing you really can do is use a hot wash cloth on it ... or a hot tea bag which works better because it stays hotter longer. Try not to touch it. Touching underneath the eyelid is what can cause styes in the first place. Mine cleared up fully in about 5-6 days. Since a stye is basically a pimple, the only thing that can help is heat and letting it dry out on its own. I know how embarrassing it is, it's awful walking around as if you have conjunctivitis/pink eye. I had to stick it out and go to school, I would go if I were you. It's not worth missing work and stuff, if people ask just say it's nothing serious, just a stye, I'm not diseased.
Good luck
