A member asked:
Some dry skin on my stye came off, so i picked it and then some of the pus came out, i don't know what to do, should i pop it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stye: Hello- sounds ready to pop. Take a wedding ring and put in small glass of water and put microwave to boil water. Its now sterile. Wait for cooling then wash hands in soap and water, put on a rubber glove and place gauze square under lower eyelid, take clean ring and squish the pus out onto the gauze till only blood comes out. Irrigate eye, place gauze dressing and eye-patch few hours, be happy!
