Something wrong with eye!!?!?!?

Question

i thought i had a sty but I think its something worse. .i got a white bump(looks like i could pop it) on my eyelid where i thought the sty was, and like the whole edge of my eyelid is all puffed up and swollen. what is wrong with it?? any suggestions?

Answer 1

its probable a chalazion, and I have had them 3 times before.  You can get surgery to get rid of them (my sucky insurance covers it, so I'm sure yours will too).  The surgery only takes about 15 minutes and they put you under a light anesthetic.  It's either that or an ingrown eyelash.

Go to your eye doctor to make sure.

Answer 2

Yea sounds like a chalazion, basically a clogged pore, there is no medical treatment, just put warm compresses on it a couple times a day and message that area as to try and work it out. Is it sore and itchy? If so then im more sure its a chalazion, save yourself money by going to the doctor they cant do anything about it.

Answer 3

It is a stye...(called an external hordeolum because of the white head and if it's sore.  It's a chalazion if it's more of an internal lump of the eye and is not sore).  Anyway, get a hot wash cloth, hot as you can stand it without burning yourself, wring it out and wrap it around your finger.  Do a massaging motion starting at the bottom of the bump and moving toward the lashes.  Do this twice a day for several minutes.  The head may break open and drain it's contents.  If it's no better in two weeks, see your eye doctor.  You may need an oral antibiotic at that point, or in some cases it is physically removed for you.
