Beec Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 A stye is an infection in your eyelid, and I think it is based in the root of an eyelash. You can buy over the counter ointment and use hot water for some relief, which is all I have ever done for one. I've only had a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnelianButterfly Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I get those every now and then, usually when I've been wearing my contacts too long. The worst I got was when I used to wear make-up. The bacteria live in the mascara and each time you use it you put it back on your lashes. I stopped using it. You should stop all make-up use for a few days and toss any mascara that you've used recently as it will most likely be contaminated. I keep it clean and watch it, if it doesn't get better after a few days call the doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
