what do i do with this sty/stye on my eye?

[beansontoast]

never had one before...do they just go away on their own?

and how long doe sthat take?

ta

Go to the chemist and get some Brolene - I think you can get it over the counter now. Also don't touch it or rub it as they can spread. When it goes gunky you'll need to bathe it in warm water. That's it really.

You need to get eye drops or cream, from the doctor or chemist.

I think it will go away on it's own eventually, but it's really not worth the discomfort in the meantime

Up to three weeks, you can go to the docs and get some cream for it. Or you can just ignore it and hope it settles.

It may go away by itself or it may require antibiotic cream from your GP or in my case you may have to have them surgically scraped out.
I believe applying warm compress' can help.

eeek gunky!...eeeek three weeks!...eeeek discomfort!

thanks for your rapido posts...looks like i will being wearing sunglasses on friday eve when i go out for the firdt time in eons!

oh fuck...scraped out?

faints.

Oh and don't use any eye make-up as that can irritate it and will also contaminate what you use which may then spread the stye next time you use it.
