A member asked:
I have a bump on my upper eyelid. i was told it was a stye. doing compresses and prescribed drops. it's starting to dry out. do i still do compresses?

Yes: I recommend doing the warm compresses till the redness, swelling & soreness completely resolves. Remember to only use the eye medication for the prescribed amount of time. It's also a good idea to continue performing lid hygiene on a routine basis, especially if you're predisposed to styes. Good luck.
