Got my 1st stye. have had it 1 1/2 mo now. have gone to both gp & eye dr. what else can i / should i do to get this to go away?

Need appointm ophtha: If the stye has been present that long conservative therapy most likely won't help. I would suggest scheduling an appointment with an ophthalmologist for evaluation and probable incision & drainage of the lesion.
