Dr. Justin Greiwe answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Sty: A sty is a red, painful lump near the edge of your eyelid that may look like a boil or a pimple. In most cases a sty will begin to disappear on its own in a couple days. In the meantime, relieve the pain or discomfort by applying a warm washcloth to your eyelid. If lesion persists or there is effect on vision see doctor

I have what looks like a small pimple (whitehead) on the inside corner of my eye. It's not on the lid, or the eye ball, but in the pink fleshy part. Will this go away on its own? It's irritating, and stings. I have had it for 2-3 days.
