really hurts alot


Answers:

Most styes will drain on their own though this may be accelerated with a hot or warm compress, or by pulling out the eyelash.

Styes typically resolve within 1 week with treatment. Since a stye is technically a pimple, it can be popped. However, doing so is not recommended without technical expertise

Styes may also cause a bruising feeling around the eye which can be treated with a warm cloth. Doctors recommend making a solution of watered-down baby shampoo to apply to the eye to clean the infection out. Get lots of sleep. A stye may also feel like a scratch in the eye but is not.

Medical professionals will sometimes lance a particularly persistent or irritating stye with a needle, to accelerate its draining[6]. A stye's spread or expansion can also be fought with the use of antibiotic ointment akin to Neosporin (e.g. Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment), a special version being available for styes, which can be applied in a ribbon along the lid, on either inside or out. Medical professionals may also prescribe Amoxicillin for over a period of a week.

If a stye bursts care must be taken to cleanse the wound to prevent infection.

Contact lenses and eye makeup should never be worn during treatment for a sty.
