No, the alcohol can damage the surface of the eye. Instead, go to an eye doctor, and have her express the material from within the stye. It should then dry up and go away.

Eye drops may help relieve some of the discomfort associated with a stye, such as dryness or irritation. However, they do not directly treat the stye itself.

What is a stye how is it caused and how can you heal it?

A stye is a "pimple" on the skin surrounding the eye, particularly the eyelid. It is an infection, but I have found that drinking lots of water can help you get rid of a stye easily. Another way: If you put a teabag (wet with hot water) on the stye, it completely helps the swelling of the stye. Check out the 'Related Links' below for more information.

What happens if you pop a stye in your eye?

No! Do not even try to do this!If you attempt popping the stye, you will either hurt the sensitvie eye skin or infect the stye. In order to get rid of the stye, carefully cut a peice of garlic unil you can see the wet part, then SLOWLY rub it on your stye. This method has been used for centuries. It really works! Apply 3-4 times a day until the stye is gone. MUST BE CONSISTENT. Doing it randomly one or two times won't help. But be careful, if the garlic gets INSIDE your eye it will BURN. *just an addition - if you don't trust garlic use hot water to damp a rag apply for 15mins several times a day.


What does it mean when you have a small bump near your eye lid?

A pouck or a stye. Quite a minor eye infection. Go see your doctor. Might give you some cream to put on inside of your eyelid. To treat at home for time being, you could use some kind of eye bath such as optrex. Read the label first. You can't use if you have cateracts. Hope it clears up soon :o)
