A member asked:
What can i do if my boyfriend has a small white sty in his upper inner eyelid how do we get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sty: Microwave a clean potato with the skin on for four minutes. Wet a wash cloth or small towel with warm or hot water. Squeeze out the excess water and wrap it around the potato. Apply this to the eye lid until it cools down (about 15minutes).This can be repeated intermittently. See your physician or opthamologist if not improving.
