A member asked:
I have a sore white head looking bump on the inside of my upper eyelid, what can it be?

Stye: This sounds like a stye, which is also known as a chalazion or a hordeolum. These arise from a blocked gland in the edge of the eyelid. It sounds like it is already draining, which is good. Warm compresses several times a day will help it resolve. However it is important to see your eye doctor to confirm the diagnosis and prescribe the proper medication, which may or may not include an antibiotic.
