Is it a sty...or is it a pimple?!


Question: Is it a sty...or is it a pimple.?
I get stys all the time, so I'm accustomed to having them. I woke up this morning with pain on my eyelid (the kind of pain associated with a sty) and my eyelid was red in one spot like with a sty. However looking closer at it,I saw there was a white head on the tip of it (like with a pimple) in my eyelashes. I've never had a sty with a white tip on it...is it possible to get a pimple on your eyelid.? Has anyone else experienced this.? How did you treat it.? Thanks.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
If it's on the area of your lid margin, then it's a stye. If it's around our eyes but not on your lid or lid margin, then it might be a pimple. Styes are basically inflamed glands that line your lid margin. Sometimes they are exterior so you see the bump just by looking in the mirror and sometimes they are interior meaning your have to pull down or lift up under your lid to see the bump. Regardless of the white tip you see, which may just be some of the glandular material, if it's near your eye in the way I describe, it's probably a stye.

The best bet to try to make it go away is use warm compresses over your affected eye for 10-15 minutes 2x a day to soften it and reduce the inflammation. Use antibiotic drops if it is still there after 3-5 days.Health Question & Answer

No it's a pimple Angelia. You could safely try hydrogen peroxide by pulling your eyelid down with that eye closed and using a Q-Tip in the mirror. Read the bottle before you do just in case, please.

Diluted boric acid is a safe eye wash as well, because I work with things that fly around like wood and metal chips, and that is what you flush your eyes out with, but I don't know how well it will work on pimples.

Definately no alcohol.Health Question & Answer

I think it is a sty. Sty can be pointed with pus.
I don't think you will have pimples on eyelids.
As you have got sty before I am sure you know what to do about it.
Usually an oral antibiotic, an anti inflammatory tablet and an antibiotic eye ointment are given.Health Question & Answer

a sty is the eye equivalent of a pimple on your faceHealth Question & Answer

Sty's are the pimple's of the eye area. In the mean time, treat it like you would any sty. Don't try to pop it. I don't get them too often...but my daughter had one last week. We treated it with extremely hot steam baths, the old fashion way. Boiled a hug pot of water on the stove. Took the pot and sat it in the kitchen sink...placed her face over the pot with a towel over her head. And she stay under it for a long as she could...coming up for cooler air every so often. We did this until it went down. Sometimes it will go away after a few hours. Other times it took a few days but it went away.

Your body is trying to get rid of toxins the best way it knows how. Try this tea that cleanses. It will help you cleanse whatever is causing the sty's. http://iasotea.com/pure
