Stye: triple antibiotic ointment.  clean with warm water.  warm compresses

Question 3

hello my little brother has an eye stye he got it on a sunday and it popped out on monday morning we have consulted a doctor today he keeps on rubbing his eye and his stye is bleeding is it dangerous if a stye bleeds ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If you have consulted a doctor, he has eliminated any more serious problem.  If a stye opens and drains, sometimes there is a little bleeding.  Just keep it clean, apply heat and most likely the stye will resolve without problems.

its been 4 weeks and now my 1 year old son's stye finally pop but it does bleed a little. will it go away after this? or will it get worse? im still putting those eyedrops prescribed by the pediatrician and warm compress.. should i still keep doing?

: Yes, keep up with the treatment prescribed the doctor.  It is important to keep using the eye drops to prevent from infection happening in other hair follicles, near the eye.

Question 5

how common are pyogenic granuloma's are of the inner eye lid? & can they form after a chalazion or stye? what do i do about them? do they always bleed

Accepted Answer

Pyogenic granulomas: Pyogenic granulomas can occur after a chalazion and are not uncommon. Most need to be excised with a short, minor surgical procedure. Rarely will frequent hot compresses or steroid injections help if it has been present for a long time.

Question 6

my boyfriend has a tiny stye the size of a pencil tip on his lower lid close to his nose we saw tonight that it started to bleed we cleaned the blood off and put eye drops in just normal drops for irritated eyes etc but now what will happen it has a hard

Accepted Answer

Stye care: These are very common and care be treated conservatively 90% of the time. A warm compress and los scrubs open up the oil glass which are blocked.  (http://eyewiki.aao.org/Stye). Make sure the heat is constant for ~3-5min.  Uncooked rice in a stocking moistened and place in the microwave will hold heat for 5min.  If this is not curative after 1-2wks then check with an ophthalmologist.

Question 7

what if my sty started bleeding, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding sty: Sties normally don't bleed. I wonder if you may've accidentally scratched it or bumped. 
Any bleeding is concerning, so i would make appointment to see doc.

Question 8

my baby has a sty and she had yellow crust she rubbed her eye today and took crust off its now bleeding not a lot but there is blood is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Any irritation can: bleed a little if rubbed. If you are sure that it is a stye, you can apply gentle pressure with a gauze to the bleeding area. If it stops with that, you can observe for further bleeding, in which case, I would recommend that she be seen by her doctor. If any increased redness, swelling, or pus occurs, she should also be seen.

Question 9

i think i just popped a stye. the tip of it was white already, i'm not sure if that was a bad idea?

Accepted Answer

Watch it: Don't do that again!  If you should get bad pain, swelling, fever, redness or blurry vision after popping it, get seen right away by an eye doc, your Family doc, or at an UC or ER.

Question 10

2 yr old has bad styes, lasting about 1 month. specialist said nothing i could do after taking him in on first one, has had 2, #3 seems to be forming?

Accepted Answer

Can be recurring: Warm compresses are a good idea for the eyes.
Make sure there is not too much rubbing of eyes.
At that age that can contribute.
I have recommended topical ophtalmic ointment in some cases to relief recurrences.
