Eye Spy with my little Stye

[4getmenot]

Is there any way to get rid of or treat a stye in your eye?

[redcrx]

old wives tale that seems to work for some is to rub it with gold.

[4getmenot]

ouch

Most styes will drain on their own though this may be accelerated with a hot or warm compress, or by pulling out the eyelash. Styes typically resolve within 1 week with treatment. Since a stye is technically a pimple, it can be popped. However, doing so is not recommended without technical expertise[5] due to them forming dangerously close to the eye for those inexperienced at this. As per wikipedia.....bleurgh! lol

tannin in tea help reduce a stye. So get a tea bag wet and pop it on your eye. I think raspberry leaves help too so maybe you could use a raspberry leaf teabag too (theres no tannin in herbal/fruit tea though) so you would have to use both,

did you copy that suzy?? Tut Tut lol. Thanks for reply very helpful. So is a stye just a spot really? I'll leave it, couldnt possibly squeeze it especially with my contact lenses in :-)

[4getmenot]

you just trying to make me look silly goodsoul :-)

[someguy0000]

i would nt use the same make up, e.g eye liner, mascara etc........might spread the infection (so ive been told) dont know how true that is but it would make sense :)

[confused79]

Dont want to advise you wrongly but i squeezed my partners out did it gently and it eventually came out, he is now pleased its gone, but not sure as i suppose it can be dangerous, but he is fine :-)

[suzy64]

[4getmenot]

[confused79]

Tell you what i just love popping spots!! lol :-)

[someguy0000]

[suzy64]

LMAO...I'm very sorry, I'll slide back under my rock....mutter mutter....theres no helping some folks....was going to offer to pull the eyelash out as well....pffffft! :o)

[4getmenot]

[4getmenot]

well somegut surely best bit of going out is doing your makeup, getting dressed up and feeling different. but if its still there this weekend I can do pub without it, doesnt bother me.

[4getmenot]

[suzy64]

I daren't paste the relevant bit again.....you scare me....but if you re-read my answer (gained by illegal means!) it mentions an eyelash lol....think it's time I did some housework.

[redcrx]

raspberry leaf tea is for starting labour not morning sickness. Never advised to take prior to 36 weeks gestation :)

Plus i had tablets as the tea tastes gross :)

[4getmenot]

dont forget to dust under your rock. :-) xxxx

[4getmenot]

I am not sticking tablets on my eye!!
