My left eyelid was hurt yesterday (and still hurt now) but this morning .... eyelid became swollen. (yes, still swelling) *oh my god!* I wasn't sure what caused, but my eyeball isn't red at all.
So, after work, I went down to my fave optical shop and the optometrist lady (correct term?) confirmed that I've got eye bumps (styles), or known as "pimples"
Definition : A stye is an infection that affects the oil glands in the eyelids. It takes on the appearance of a small pimple or boil and can develop on the either of the eyelids at the area where the lashes meet the lids. It develops when a sebaceous gland gets clogged by bacteria and becomes infected.
Here is a photo of myself (cleansed face) :
Honesty, I am NOT used to no eye makeup for work. HELP me!!
Ugh! I have something called "Blepharitis" (oily inner eyelids that can easily lead to styes) you may find hot, wet compresses soothing & boric acid eye baths helpful to speed up healing & draw out the yuckies.
