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.

Can you go blind for popping a stye yourself?

No, you can`t go blind. If you accidently jab your eye with the needle it is possible to go blind, but not if you pop the stye. You shouldn`t pop a stye with a needle anyway - it does no good for it. You should have eye drops/and eye wash. Or have it for a long time and let it heal by itself (this should take 3 weeks to 2 years - but with correct treatment it should only take about a week). =]


Will lotemax help a stye?

Lotemax, a corticosteroid eye drop, is primarily used to reduce inflammation and treat allergic reactions but is not specifically indicated for treating a stye. A stye, caused by a bacterial infection of the eyelid's oil glands, is typically treated with warm compresses and sometimes antibiotic ointments. While Lotemax may reduce inflammation, it won't address the underlying infection. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options for a stye.
