alyandbud	It's sounds like you may have a stye, which resembles a pimple on your eyelid, but is actually a staphylococcal bacterial infection. It forms when the gland in the eye becomes infected. It should only last a few days. You can speed the healing process by applying warm compresses, like a face cloth with warm water, to your eye several times a day. However, it it remains for a month or more and becomes like a hard ball, it may be a chalazion. Both a stye and chalazion are relatively harmless, but if you are very uncomfortable, or still unsure of what is on your eye, you should definately see a doctor. I doubt it is a pimple. :) Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mtalleyhci	i would go to a dermatologist because it could be an easily removed Calcium deposit. not sure where they come from but they can be removed painlessly Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

teresathegreat	I get those too. It's just a clogged pore. So it is kinda like a pimple, even if it isn't all juicy and red like real pimple. Take a hand towel and run it under some hot hot water, then squeeze out the excess water. Gently rub it on the eyelid - don't press on your eye. The hot steam will help open the pore, and the slightly rough texture to the cloth will Loosen and exfoliate the bump. Do this a couple times a day and it should go away. In the future, be careful about removing ALL your eye makeup. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lyndsey H	It could be an infected eyelash follicle. The best thing that I could tell you is not to touch it, and if you must, put a warm compress over the pimple to bring it to a head quicker so that it can pop naturally and therefore take care of the aggrivation. Do not pop it with your fingers, or rub it, or do anything else of that nature, you could irritate it even worse and then you could have some bigger problems. If it doesn't clear up, I would still see a doctor though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥Twinkle♥Toes	***That is a stye and they are sometimes caused because of lack of sleep and or poor diet or stress. Use hot compresses to accelerate the healing, also use diluted baby shampoo to wash the area of infection. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lisa l	A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a gland within the skin. Typically, this lump grows over days to weeks and is occasionally red, warm, or painful. The gland involved in the formation of a chalazion is a modified sweat gland that lies within the eyelid. This gland produces oil. When this gland becomes blocked, it can rupture and the inflammation process begins. Inflammation is a process in which the body reacts to a condition and produces a biologic reaction. This reaction can cause swelling, redness, pain, or warmth. A chalazion is not a sty. A sty can resemble a chalazion in the sense that it is also a lump in the eyelid. However, a sty involves glands and eyelash hair follicles that are closer to the skin surface of the eyelid. In addition, a sty is usually more painful and looks infected. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

HotLittlePotato	its a sty... put a hot wash cloth over it a few times a day Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Learning Conformity	Yes, its a stye, and they hurt!!! Dont worry, it will go away eventually all on its own, just like any other pimple. "Most styes will drain on their own though this may be accelerated with a hot or warm compress, or by pulling out the eyelash. Styes typically resolve within 1 week with treatment. While a stye is technically a pimple and can be popped, doing so is not recommended without technical expertise[5] due to their proximity to the eye. Styes may also cause a bruising feeling around the eye which can be treated with a warm cloth. Doctors recommend making a solution of diluted baby shampoo to apply to the eye, to clean the infection out. Medical professionals will sometimes lance a particularly persistent or irritating stye with a needle, to accelerate its draining.[6] A stye's spread or expansion can also be fought with the use of antibiotic ointment akin to Neosporin[7] (e.g. Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment), a special version being available for styes, which can be applied in a ribbon along the lid, on either inside or out. Medical professionals may also prescribe Amoxicillin for over a period of a week.[8] If a stye bursts care must be taken to cleanse the wound to prevent infection. Contact lenses should never be worn during treatment for a stye. Eye makeup can be worn but is not recommended." Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
