  • ya i just read that they can come from stress. hmm sounds likely grr. but omg ya they hurt. i guess im goin to try a washcloth and go from there. ugh ouch i hate fire ants. they are evil little bastards. @mshahir
  • most stores sell stye drops like cvs or walgreens walmart as well you do the drops a few times a day and it slowly goes away or u can go to the doctor and they can surgically remove it idk if its painful the surgery or not

  • and one cause of them is something gets in your eye and it gets stuck in your eyelid and you eye rejects it causing the stye which is obviously painful you body will eventually get rid of it on its own but most ppl dont want to wait that long
  • @Mommysierra thank u im goin to look at cvs for something its hurting so bad, it hurts to blink. so irritating!
    @mshahir ya thats no fun at all. i used to get bit all the time when i lived in florida. not cool

  • @jazzi89 idk what it feels like to get punched in the face but i know styes can hurt @Louisesfirstbaba yea ingrown hairs are a known cause as well
  • @mshahir ya theyr awful there! ugh it was an everyday thing getting bit.

  • Whatever you do dont rub your eye then touch the other one as it can cause infection! Sureee u dont want that, Try applying a warm tea bag to the area, will help sooth it and it has something in it thats ment to help :D
  • @mshahir ya it was awful. where in fl did u live? i moved up to wi when i was like 14. and i miss fl so much!
    @Louisesfirstbaba thank u much! im going to try the tea bag idea. im in so much pain from this stupid thing
  • Be careful with eye drops.. I had the beginning of an ulcer, and the doc told me I couldn't use my prescription eye drops.
  • Styes are painful but they go away on their own and don't cause any harm.
  • @lucy_loo_288 hopefully it goes away fast for me. im about to call it quites and just go to sleep cuz it hurts to blink so bad grr
  • I know how you feel, hon. At least call your doc before you get any eye drops..
  • My husband had one. He did hot compresses on it and once a day he heated up a green tea bag and put it over his infected eye for about 5 minutes. It worked. It went away after about 4 days. Good luck hun

    When I had one my aunt told me if I peed on my eye it would go away...so I went to the drug store and bought eye drops and i also kept warm wash cloths on it and it went away in like about a week :).
