I know this sounds wierd but my mom always made me do this when I had a stye. Rub a gold ring (real gold) on the eye it always helped me

Sounds like the start of a boil.  get someone to have a look and describe it to you.  If it has an obvious "head"  hot flannels will bring it out so the swelling and pus can be discharged.\n\nIf it doesnt look like a spot or boil, nip to the docs and let him have a look.

The inflammation you are experiencing is a sign of water retention.  Drink more water throughout the day to help flush it out, and try to cut back on your sodium/salt intake.  \nYou can also try alternating cold/hot compresses with a wet cloth for instant effects.  Puffiness under the eyes can be reduced by applying preparation H cream.  Sounds gross, I know, but it's a trick that works!

it could be an ingrown eyelash; or possibly a peice of debri or something that has gotten stuck in a pore, and infected it. go to your local doctor or emergency room; they will be able to give you an ointment of sorts that will help it go away faster. if nothing else, they will usually go away on there own after not very long- days or weeks.\n\nanyway, i hope that helps!

The base of the hair follicle of your eyelash is infected;probably because you rubbed your eye with a none-too-clean finger.\nLook for the affected eyelash(-it will be most painful at that point) ,get a clean pair of tweezers and pull it out!\nThen wash your face with soap and water and go to sleep.ln the morning,it will be almost gone and within 36hours,it will be all over.\nTake a couple of aspirin tablets too--these are anti-inflammatory.

Apply warm compresses for 10 minutes, 4 times a day. Do not squeeze it- let it drain on its own. It will usually drain on its own in about 2 days. Antibiotic ointment, or an antibiotic-steroid combination, can be used until symptoms have cleared. If the stye lasts more than 3 days or the infection appears to be spreading, please see your doctor.

try soaking a bit of bread in milk, apply this to area and set for half an hour, alternate with cold used tea bag this was my gramma s old home remedy for styes and boils, it works. something about these poltices , draws the puss out naturally.

yes, its called a sty. put warm compresses on it until it comes out on its own. dont pop it, it'll cause an eye infection.

Go back to your doctor and have him take a look at this.  The swelling should have gone down by now.  Attend to this without delay.

You really need to have it checked.  You may have irritated it somehow, but it could also be something of more concern.  See your doctor, better safe than sorry...

it could be a bite or something. try treating it as a pimple but DON'T PICK IT IF YOU AREN'T SURE!!!! And if that doesnt work, or if it gets bigger, go to the emergency room. Which you might want to go ahead and consider. That happened to my dad and overnight, that "pimple" made half of his face swell up

Hold it open and let it water, this will be kind of uncomfortable.  If that doesn't work go to an optometrist.  Something in your eye could cause problems (ie cornea abrasion) so be careful!  Go to the doctor asap!

If it doesn't go away, you should consider seeing your eye doctor.  Sometimes an eyelid twitch can be a sign of something a little more serious, like an internal eye infection.

It sounds like a cyst. I had one on my finger and went to a dermatologist and they took it off. Have it checked out to be on the safe side.Don't sweat it.

See your eye doctor (or dermatologist if it's on the skin).  You need to find out what the spot is in order to be able to remove it properly.

Various possibilities (among others):\n\n1) Could be psychological\n2) Could be allergic \n3) There may really be something in your eye - not always can you see foreign objects lodged in the eye\n4) You might have touched your eye with a dirty and/or sweaty figure or something\n5) It maybe irritation/complications due to contact lens use\n6) It maybe the onset of a Herpes Virus infection\n7) It maybe the onset of a case of conjunctivitis\n8) You maybe needing glasses and/or eye treatment\n\nBottom line:\n\nTry washing/rinsing your eyes with clean water for sometime, but only after having washed and rinsed your hands thoroughly first.  Then make sure you dry your eyes with a fresh clean towel.    If the sensation continues, seek medical care (i.e. go for an Eye Checkup/Exam) – never self medicate.

It is not a stye, a stye is a swollen gland at the root of eye lash , so it is on the eye lid. If you have a bump on the eye ball . where is ? is it on black portion (cornea) or white(sclera). The bump on the sclera close to cornea is mostly an inoccuous lesion called "Pingueculum" which is a mild degeneration of conjunctiva, surface layer of sclera. It is not a thing to worry about unless it becomes when it can grow onto cornea then it is called "Pterygium" which needs surgery occassionally.
