Several days: With diligent moderately hot compresses to stye f/b gentle massage of the stye will typically resolve it after 7-10 days. There will be redness; superficial changes in shin where the stye was for up to a few weeks. As long as the stye has reasonably regressed over this period without pain anymore, you generally will do fine. Sometes the stye has to be lanced, particularly if increased. No Arnica.
