My eyes!!

I was told that a sty is a ingrown eye lash. I am not sure how you can prevent them. I usually throw out any makeup I am using when I get a sty. Just to be on the safe side. Then I go to the store and get sty medicine its over the counter in the USA Iwill use the meds till its gone. I know its not a lot of info about sty's but I hope this little bit helps.

There are medications for that. I just don't know the name but you could ask the pharmacy for it. Cheers!!

The most common source of stye that I know of is bug bites. If you're from the Philippines, doctors would usually say it's from a cockroach bite. Those things are nasty! They itch really bad and they last for a week. The last time I had one of those was a year ago. The best thing to do is stick some ice to it on the very first day that it appears. It usually subsides then. We also put some anti-bacterial topical cream or ointment if the bump isn't too close to the eye. Neosporin is our choice of anti-bacterial ointment (it works on zits too!) Also, have someone examine it for your (this is a household remedy): then see if there's a white hair sticking out of it in the middle of the bump. Pull that out, that helped me a couple of times before. Thanks for the response on my discussion :)
