My clogged meibomian glands arent styes or chalazions it just makes the eyelid thicker. How long to remove oil w/ 1 warm compress & doxycycline a day?
Warm compress and take doxycycline but my eyelid only gets thicker (no stye/chalazion). Doctor doesnt want to express glands either. What do I do?
My Dr. Prescribed me systemic vibramycin (doxycycline) for a mild cellulitis in my upper eyelid dt.mosquito bite.is this effective?!!
I ve had the stye under my left lower eyelid for over a month. Neither Tobradex ointment for 10 days nor warm compress helped. Now my eyelid is red inside. Another doctor tells me to take Doxycycline for a week twice a day. If no help then surgery?
