I've been dealing with a stye on my eyelid for the last 3 weeks. Started doing the hot compresses to try and pull it up and out has now made it grow to two stye's - one predominant on on the top lid and the 2nd less noticeable but hurts more is on the bottom one. I am waiting for these buggers to finally get to the draining process before I can finally start healing from them. I'm irritated by all this as I never have one on the top lid. I feels like the top one is reducing in size so hopefully that means its draining.
Did you know that you can have dandruff on your eyelids? Neither did I but apparently the medical term for it is Blepharitis and that is what is causing all this. I have to ride this one out with my water compresses and keeping it clear. Afterwards I will be using Blephagel Duo which is designed to help keep the eyelids clean and clear of abnormal oily secretions and other debris shed by the eyelids. It was suggested I start with doing it twice a day for a week and then move down to once a week till I'm done the box. I could have also used baby shampoo to deal with this but when it comes to my eyes, I'd much rather use this sterile & preservative free & hypo allergenic product on my eyes. The other product offered involved tea tree oil and again with me and my eyes, I am not messing around with that. Yes, I am stubborn!! I also listen to my inner self to guide me for things like this.

My mom used to get that all the time. Sadly, I'm beginning to as well. Her doctor told her to use baby shampoo on a q-tip *gently* around her eye lashes, rinsing them off well afterwards. I use Lids eye wipes, which work rather well to keep them at bay. Of course, for both of us, consistency is the key. When we forget, we pay the price. :(
GL with all that.
