I have this gross bump on my eyelid, and its so painful.

 
Sounds like a sty – a red, painful lump, caused by a bacterial infection, at the root of your eyelash. It fills with puss and swells, but, fortunately, Dr. Maureen O’Neil of Santa Monica, Calif., says sties usually disappear in a few days.
 
Meantime, relieve the pain by applying a warm, damp cloth to your eyelid 10 minutes, four times a day. To prevent further infections, keep the area clean and dry. Also, wash your hands frequently, and keep them away from your eyes.
 
If the sty stays or affects your vision, see a doc. She might prescribe a topical antibiotic cream, or pierce the pesky lump to relieve pressure.

I have a little bump by my bottom eye lashes right against my eye, but I've had it for years! It hasn't gotten any worse or better, and it's not red, it's white. Do you know anything about this???

First of all, if something is infected it usually doesn't just "go away" on it's own. You have to get your eye Dr. or whoever to prescribe antibiotic eye drops/cream. Especially if you keep getting them...for godsakes...be CLEAN. Never sleep in eye makeup and NEVER keep any make up for more than a few months. It gets full of bacteria, throw it out &buy more.

Sorry if this comment is really late but I had like four eye styes in the past two years and they all took a really long time to go away. I had one this year on the bottom of my eye and the doctor had to lance it and I think he left a scar or something because now, like six months later, it's still there (it's a red oval, almost pimple-like but flat, and it's right below my bottom eyelash) What should I do? Sorry this comment is so long but I really wish I could do something about it. Thanks




Hey girl, I would try using some foundation to cover it for now and before applying make up, use a scar cream like Mederma.

I got like three eye styes in the past two years and they took a long time to go away, and once the doctor had to lance it. The last eye stye I got was this year and it wasn't going away for a long time so the doctor lanced it again and now I have a red pimple-like (but more flat) scar on the bottom of my eye. It hasn't gone away for a long time. What should I do? (sorry this comment is long but I really wish there was something I could do about it Frown )
