Hello! I have a big stye on my eyelid. I've had it for about 3 days, and I went to the doctor for yearly physical the first day it started. They said it should be gone in about a week. My question is will it stay longer if I am around allergens, and anything that can irritate it? Is there anything that can make it go away faster ( I've been warm-water compressing it)?
