How do u know when a stye is healed. i've been putting stye med + warm compresses for 2 weeks. looks gone but i think i feel a tiny bump still?

The look and feel: As you may suspect. The look and feel of the area will let you know when it is gone. If it is barely noticeable, it is most likely healed, and constant palpation of the area may irritate it and inflame it again. If concerned, then see the dr. for an eval. Good luck.

Healed: It is "healed" when pain, redness and swelling have resolved. A tiny, painless bump is likely nothing to worry about and should continue to get smaller. If it enlarges and stye recurs, you should follow-up again with your doctor.
