A member asked:
Internal styes are worse than external ones,so i want to know home remedies besides compresses to aid in a healthy healing without pinkye developing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: Home treatment is all that is needed for most styes. Apply warm, wet compresses for 5 -10 minutes, 3 to 6 x's a day. This helps the area heal faster & open a blocked pore so that it can drain. Use an OTC ointment (such as Stye), solution (such as Bausch and Lomb Eye Wash), or medicated pads (such as Ocusoft Lid Scrub). Don't squeeze or open it. Don't wear eye makeup or contact lenses until healed
