A member asked:
Can a stye (a bit painful and at times itchy) appear near tear duct? how can i treat it? thank you?

Yes, it can appear near the opening of the tear duct. You just apply warm compress three to four times a day. It should resolve in a week. If it persists after 2 weeks, it may need I&D (incise and drain).

Warm compresses, antibiotic drops / ointment and see an Oculoplastic Surgeon in your area.
