A member asked:
Is it possible to have a boil outside the eye crease which causes the swelling of the whole eye crease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You likely have a hordeolum (stye) that will resolve with warm compresses. However, if you have difficulty seeing or difficulty moving your eye, you need to seek immediate medical attention in case of a more serious infection.
