A member asked:
Is it possible to use hydrogen peroxide on outside of eyelid for a stye thats come to a head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not advised: It is possible but is neither warranted nor useful. Let it take its own time. You may use warm fomentation, but no other intervention. Do not try to pop it. You may apply triple antibiotic cream to the lesion. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
