Sitting around at the family Independence Day picnic, my daughter asks, "What's wrong with your eye?"
"Huh?" was my comeback as I had not noticed anything wrong with my eye.
My wife looked at my left eye and proclaimed that I had a sty.
Upon arriving home, I checked out my eye in the mirror and confirmed my wife's diagnosis.
Googling sty, I found that "styes will usually heal on their own over the course of a few days to a couple weeks. The best way to treat a stye is to apply warm compresses (a washcloth soaked in warm water) to the affected eyelid for 10-15 minutes three times a day. This will help the pus trapped in the stye to come to the surface of the skin."
Avoid using makeup was also highly recommended.
I nursed the sty with warm compresses and after a week or so, I noticed some improvement, but I must have irritated the sty a few days ago and I am back where I started from.
I found some home remedies on line and am going the coconut oil route. If things don't improve, I have my annual check-up on Tuesday, so I'll bring it up with my doctor then.
Meanwhile, I am avoiding using makeup, eye cream and moisturizer, which has stymied all femulating!
