It's a little tube of ointment and it really does heal them quickly (usually within 2 days). Terry Mom to Evan, 5, DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 I used to have lots of boils and styes on my eyes as a child. It turned out that they were all caused by food allergies. I am allergic to pepper, curry ginger, chillies and peppers. They are the things that caused my eye problems anyway.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 I haven't had this... but my fiance has had two in his lifetime, the last just last month. Although, it was never called a cyst but a stye, we were told it is an infection in the gland of the eyelid. I know someone else who had the same thing (my roommate two years ago) and her's grew big and popped and then went away. However, my fiance's did not. He was first put on oral antibiotics and it didn't work so it was removed. Anyway, I am telling you this because both have said it is completely painless. My fiance has been " treating " his with salt water as well and he is convinced that it is the salt water that did the trick. He was also given topical antibiotic to place in the eye and on the lid and it also was unsuccessful in treating it.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 I have a thing on my eye that I am told is a cyst of some variety. I have had it for donkeys years, at least 25 years, and it hasn't really got any bigger over that time. The doctors offered to remove it but as I would be awake to have it done I declined as I have no wish to sit staring up at a scapel about to slcie down my eyelid! It doesn't hurt tho it is annoying sometimes, particularly when kids (who usually first notice my crooked tooth) ask what it is! And the eyelashes that grow out of it grow down into my eye so I have to pull them out before they irritate.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 I've had this before....it's a stye. I put the hottest washcloth I could stand and it popped and was better over night. I just run the washcloth under running water to get it hot. ---------- > From: Sara Greenberg <List@...> > trishp <trishp@...>; Mailing list 1 < > > Subject: Re: Cyst on Eyelid > Date: Thursday, February 22, 2001 11:21 AM > > > I haven't had this... but my fiance has had two in his lifetime, the last > just last month.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Your cyst sounds like fun. LOL. You would not like to have cataract surgery. They hook your eyelids open so you have to watch. You don't see details but it is really weird. Jessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
