Swollen eye lid...what is it?

I also herd putting a tea bag (wet of course) on it helps. It takes all the gross stuff out.

I started getting styes more last year, and I think a lot of it came from not using my facial cleanser on my eyes. I tend to get an oily build up by my eye lashes, and I think the pores and/or follicles get blocked. I use a mild face cleanser, and always make sure I wash my eye area now too.

The warm compresses for the styes worked well too.

The pharmacist told me the same thing. She told me to use a warm cloth or tea bags and gave me some polyspoirn it's not gone yet but it's feeling better.

Each time i read the title of your thread i kept thinking it said "Swollen Eye Ball." There's no hope for rehab of this IZ fan.

Yeah, I used to get those all the time when I was a kid. The tannin in the tea is supposed to help draw out the infection. It takes a few days to clear up. Glad you're feeling better!
