Do i have stye?(sty)?

Question

I was applying make-up a few days ago and i noticed my eyeball was red, i pulled my bottom eyelid down and just below my eye colour on my eye ball was a pimple like bump on my eye ball, its causing discomfort and i just want to know if i have stye or if i should be concerned

Answer 1

Sounds like it.  A warm compress can help with the pain, but I suggest if you get them often, that you go to the doc and get some meds for it.  That is the only thing that will get rid of mine

Answer 2

Is this on your eyeball?  If it is on your eyeball it is not a stye but could be a corneal ulcer, and if that is what it is you need to see a doctor.

A stye is actually caused by a bacteria, an infection, and you may need antibiotics to treat it, but sometimes it will go away on its own.  Soften the stye by applying a hot, moist compress several times a day for at lease 10 minutes at a time.    

Whenever you are treating a stye, be very careful and resist the urge to pop or squeeze it! Do not rub your eyes because you can easily spread the infection to your other eye - that is unless you want a matching sett.  If your stye does not go away within a week see your doctor about getting antibiotics.

Here are a couple of helpful links.

Im not too sure if its stye or not. But read this and see what you think. Other wise I would get it checked out. When I had stye it just felt like a bump. But not on my eye!
