Eye


Question Posted Sunday January 27 2008, 9:48 am

Hello all, this is Woahtherebabe.
This morning, I woke up and my eye was swollen shut, and around it is very swollen-(its not pretty;]). Anyway, yesterday before this had happened I had noticed something under my skin, it was white, and about half the size of my pinky finger. My parents said it wasnt really anything, so I decided just to wash my face, and that's it(just with warm water).
I was wondering if this has happened to anybody else, and whether anyone knows if this could be a spider bite, or something else.
Thank you to all, and have a nice day!

here is a better description, haha.
ok, it was really swollen on the eye lid, and up to the top of my nose. There is a big white...blob for lack of a better word, near my eye as well.

I'm going to suggest an eye stye. If you go to school, ask the school nurse. (because doctor's visits require copay and first see if it's serious before taking action and making an appointment)

Oh crud Woah! Was it on the skin under your eye,
or like on your actual eye bottom lid...you
get what I'm asking because I'm having trouble describing it!

If it was on the "bottom lid", for lack of a
better term, it might be a sty. They start
out sometimes looking white then look clear,
almost like a little blister. They hurt and
are really annoying but will probably be gone
in a day.

Is the white spot still there? If not it may
have been a coincidence. Have you ever had
conjunctivitis, better known as "pink eye'?
It will have your eye swelled shut when you
wake. It is usually all crusty looking too.
The rim of your eyes will be really pink.
It is contagious so should that be what it
is, do not wash both eyes with the same cloth.
If you think it might be this, see a doctor for
medicine.

If none of that helps, you know what to do.
See a doctor as soon as possible. You don't
want to risk any eye problems. :)

Edit...

Ouch! Well take care of it. Do what the doctor says! :)
