A member asked:

My lower eyelids swollen, a bit red but hurts and a bump inside the eye ,its been 4 days.any advice ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stye: If this occurred rather suddenly, it probably is a stye, which is a blocked oil gland of the eyelid. It can become secondarily infected and can spread to adjacent tissues leading to cellulitis. Most of these styes respond to very warm compresses 3-4 times/day for 10' followed by gentle massage with a washcloth containing a small amount of baby shampoo. After a week, the stye should nearly resolve.
