Stye popped. gooey stuff is still coming out of it, and it seems like it forms back up when i leave it alone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Warm compress: Yes, that's the problem to begin with, the meibomian gland gets blocked. Warm compresses 15 continuous minutes may keep it open and drain completely (hint: use a beanie bag or rice bag).
