A lump in the eye and how can you get rid of it?

Hello maddysmommy, I guess it will just go away when treated with proper ointment or cream! I have tried this before but I just wait until it vanished..I was in College that time! SO, maybe you can check for any cream or ointment that might help! Then, it's also better to use sunglasses when going out!

Well I have a sty on my eye and it can be annoying when it acts up but it doesnt hurt me and there is nothing that i can do to make it go away. Lucky for me its small and usually doesnt flare up. But when it does it gets bigger and looks funny. I never went to a doctor as it doesnt bother me much and has never hurt.

If he has had it a week and it isn't going a way (the last time i had one it was just 2-3 days before it started to shrink), I would go to the Dr. He may have something worse - like an ulcer - that can permanently damage his vision.

A warm as you can stand wet cloth over it. That's exactly what a specialist will tell you to do. Don't waste your money.

hello friend,i am so sorry to hear that.in fact,I suggest you should go to a good hospital for the eye checking firstly.Thi is more important.Because after checking, we can know what happened actually.My mother had a sty in her right eye one year before,after 3 months injection on her eye,finally she is okay now..I think it is not a big problem, don't worry.Just check the eye and fllow the doctor's instruction,i think your hubby will get well soon. have a good day

A sty usually does not last for more than a week so he might want to get that checked out as you said at the eye doctor. However if you still think it is a sty, what you can do is keep a warm cloth compress (I usually just microwave a wet washcloth) firmly pressed on the affected eye. After a few days of periodically using the warm compress the eye should be back to normal

Hi maddysmommy I know that it takes a long time for them to go but if he is that worried he should go to the Doctor though I have never suffered with anything like that so I would not know what to suggest

When my daughter had a sty what got it to go away quicker was warm compresses. Just take a washrag and soak it in warm water for a few minutes, then place it on the sty for a while every night. This gets the sty to come to a head (its like a big pimple) and eventually burst. What you do need to look out for is that once it leaves, if it comes back in the same place. If this happens, you may need to see the ophthalmologist for a prescription. I forget exactly what this condition is called, but it means that its not between the eyelashes like most sty's, it's in the membrane under the eyelid. Those can be hard to get rid of permanently if not caught early on. But the only way to tell is if you get rid of the first one, and it comes back in the same place. That's what happened to my daughter.

Sounds like it might be a meibomian cyst. Nothing to worry about. It's a collection of debris following an eye infection. It can be operated on or will probably clear up in about 3 months. If in doubt see your doctor. Better safe than sorry.

If it is a stye then it should have or had an yellow spot on it where the pus is, as a stye is an infection of the glands, sometimes though a stye can turn into a cyst, either way if it is getting bigger then he should be seen as a sty needs to be drained. I used to get styes quite a lot when I was younger and putting a warm compress on it can help to draw it to a head much quicker so that the pus comes out, just do it four times a day. But other than that if it keeps growing or does not come to a head then I would take him to be seen.

hi maddys mommy I would get your husband to an eye doctor as a sty is nothing to fool around with.

That's something you should see a doctor about. I once had something similar, not a lump, but similar and it was an infection and its very necessary to take medicine for that. I would definitely recommend you get the guy to a doctor. You just never know.

I had these problesm twice now and they recur again now and then and my observation is that they usually tend to go away after three or four days. So I do not really worry about it. i never consulted a doctor for it, but sure took medicines. They worked and I have gotten rid of that problem. I also observed that the portion near the swell would hurt if I tried to touch it. Maybe you should ask your hubby to get it checked. If it gets serious, it's something that would go bad. bourne

I've had sty's before, take a warm or hot washcloth and put it over his eye. it will make the swelling go down, and it will go away. it might take a few times for it to work.

I have been told of some folk remedies which might be out of place in this modern world. They say placing some of your own urine on the infected eye helps to kill the bacteria infecting it. Urine is also used to control infestation of red mights on plants. Cheers!!

okay i have gotten one before an old remedy is to put aby shampoo in the eye it cleans the dirt et. it really does work so trll her husband to try it and in about a week it will vanish :):):) so good luck on getting rid of the sty.

I've had a similar problem but suggest that he sees the doctor simply because it could be something different from what i had. mine wasn't serious and was told to apply some sort of blue ink(iodine..maybe)not sure! was ages ago.
