Members bluesboy Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 My bottom right eyelid has had a puffy lump on it, on the side more towards my ear for a few weeks now, and it's recently started to hurt. It's soft, and looks kind of like a bugbite. Im going to the doctor on friday to get it checked out, but i was just wondering if anyone here has/had the same thing, and what it turned out to be for you/ how did you get rid of it. Im a little nervous here. cheers,bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members starsnuffer Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Next time keep your eyes shut for the money shot. Gah. Seriously though, hope it turns out to be something minor, good luck. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jnmartin Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 probably a sty, basically a zit in your eyelid... soak it with a warm cloth a couple of times a day, doctor will probably give you some topical medicine to help it on its way. nothing major, just gotta keep your hands clean and your fingers away from your eyes.

Members oryan Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 It could be an egg sack. Little spiders will soon hatch and come crawling out of your eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesboy Posted October 31, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 hehe... if spiders came out of my eye i would probably die of a heart attack. I thought a sty was like a pimple on your eyelid. this is not like that... it is not red, and has not "come to a head." it's been there forthree weeks, I thought stys came out and went away faster than that.

Members jnmartin Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 ah. weird. i've had some that lasted for months so that was my line of reasoning. never got a head on em unless i tortured them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oryan Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Better go to the doctor. Whatever it is, three weeks is too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoCk4souls Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 I had a sty once that almost swole my eye shut. it was in the top eyelid though. It took a couple of weeks to go down and that was with some antibiotics and ointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MattACaster Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm not a doctor, no do I play one on TV. But I am 100% sure that it's syphilis of the eye. You have exactly 27 minutes to live. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Markymarc1979 Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Sounds like a sty to me, I had one last year, I got some droplet things from my doctor, and then it cleared up. If it counts I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Urban Ghandi Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 They are common.....stys. Warm salty water soaked hand towel several times a day until it's gone. Don't put any OTC ointments on it...it needs to breath and dry out. And, whatever you do, DON'T start picking at it as if it were a zit...it'll only get bigger and nastier.
