What would doctors do to take care of a stye on my eye fast please help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Late, very hard: After a "stye" has been present for more than 4 or 5 days, a significant amount of scar tissue forms in the cartilage plate of the eyelid. If it can be treated aggressively in the first 3 days it may go away on its own. After 1 week the lump of scar will take months to years for the body to remodel. The lump can be removed from inside the lid with a minor office surgery to clear in 2-3 weeks.
