This is an old wife's tale, but it has worked for me in the past.  Get a gold ring and rub it on the stye.  It reacts to something in the metal.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

Don't laugh, but a good home remedy is...\nBoil water (relax, your tender spots won't get anywhere near it)..\nSteep several tea bags in it for 10-15 min.\nCOOL TEA MIXTURE COMPLETELY.\nSoak a cloth/towel in the tea, and apply to burn (use a towel you don't care about - it's gonna stain it). \nThe tannins in the tea help take the sting out of the burn.

I use an eyeglass cloth (the kind you get from your optometrist) to clean of finger smudges.  If there's gunk on it, I use a little bit of Windex on a tissue then lightly wipe it off.

Try sulphacetamide.  And I swear this works:  Put a few drops of breastmilk in the affected eye.

Warm (NOT hot) compresses.  DO NOT try and pop it, it will go away on it's own.  If you are female, you MUST throw away all of your eye makeup.  I know that it's expensive, but it is now infected with the same bacteria that caused your sty, and it can reoccur if you don't replace it.  Basically, just wait for the sty to resolve itself...

If you want an old fashioned home remedy that truly works, rub cornstarch in your armpits. No joke it really works. When you do shave use a shaving lotion and sharp razor.

Take a flannel - and ordinary face cloth - close your eyes and gently clean your eyes with it. You can use a tiny drop of baby shampoo if you have any. I once had a condition called blephoritis (a kind of excema around the eyelashes), and this is what the hospital doc told me to do.\n\nI think you'll find it works very well. Good luck! x

Ohmygoodness!  I just had a stye about 3 days ago, boy was it driving me crazy! Just leave it alone. I stopped wearing make-up while I had it as well. Do not touch it, or it won't go away. If you do not touch it, and be sure to wash your face, it should go away on its own in 3-4 days. \nGood Luck

Toothpaste.  Smear it on the goggles then rinse off with cold water.  Also helps with eyeglasses that fog. How I know that I will never know!?! =)

The vitamin A in the whites is very good for your skin. The egg white is also a great overnight home remedy for pimples. For this home remedy for pimples just use a Q-tip to dab the egg-white directly on to the pimple. A home remedy for pimples to get rid of redness for an inflamed pimple is to use visine eye drops and apply to the red spots - leaving on for up to 1 hour, then rinse with water, gently blot dry

Styes are very irritating and painful and the temptation is great to squeeze them to get rid of them. But this is not recommended as it will only worsen the infection possibly causing it to spread to other parts of the eyelid. Squeezing a stye is counterproductive and should be avoided. \n\n\nTo soften the head on the stye and to ease the pain, use warm compresses several times a day. Take a clean wash cloth and run it under very warm, but not hot, water and place it on the infected eye for 10 minutes. Do this between three and six times a day. \n\n\nMake sure you wash your hands thoroughly after using a compress or even touching the stye. The staphylococcus bacteria in the stye can spread causing more styes. Do not rub an eye with a stye. If you touch the infected eye and then touch your other eye, you will spread the infection to the other eye. It is not uncommon for a child to have a bout with several styes in their eyes over several months from spreading the infection. \n\n\nStyes should go away in about 3 or 4 days. If, however, the stye does not go away and seems to be getting worse see a doctor. You may need an opthalmalic antibiotic solution. \n\nFor more information and more solutions, check the website below. Good luck!!!

Cucumbers on the eyes, or a wet teabag. Use Visine as well to get rid of the redness.\n\nPS: I hope you will be ok. Sorry for whatever happened to you.

1. Apply Vitamin E to the area under your eye. You could open up a   \n   Vitamin E capsule, and apply a little oil. Swallow the rest of the oil.    \n   This not only helps you get rid of dark circles, but also reduces   \n   puffiness around the eyes. In addition, regular application of  \n   Vitamin E delays the onset of wrinkles. \n\n2. Apply creams that contain Vitamin C. \n\n3. Swallow a capsule of cod liver oil everyday. It strengthens eyes. \n\n4. Take a teaspoon of tomato juice, a few drops of lemon juice, a \n    pinch of turmeric powder and a little flour, enough to make a paste. \n    Apply this paste to the under-eye area, and wash off after fifteen \n    minutes. \n\n5. Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday. There is no stressing  \n    this enough. If you do not drink at least eight glasses of water \n    everyday, you are not providing your body with as much water as it \n    requires for flushing out toxins. Do not wait until you are thirsty \n    before drinking up. By the time your body cries ‘I’m thirsty!’, you \n    are already severely dehydrated. \n\n6. Avoid stepping out in the sun, especially between noon to four, \n    when the sun is at its strongest. Wear sunglasses to protect your \n    eyes, and the delicate skin around it, from the harmful effects of UV \n    radiation. \n\n7. Apply a cold, used tea bag to your eyes. You could also applied \n    used, cold, herbal tea leaves to your eyes, to sooth them. \n\n8. Apply a concealer to the area under your eyes, to hide dark circles. \n    Use a colour that is every so slightly lighter than the shade of your \n    skin. Apply the concealer gently; do not stretch or pull the skin \n    from this delicate area. \n\n9. Lie down, close your eyes and apply cucumber or potato slices to \n    your lids. Leave on for ten minutes and remove. Wash the area with \n    cold water. This soothes tired eyes instantly, and helps boost blood \n    circulation in the under-eye area. \n\n10. Try out dark circle remover creams available in the market. Make   \n      sure they are of a recognized brand before applying them to your \n      face.
