1. QUESTION:
   I have a pimple under my eyelid, and it hasn't gone away and its been almost 5 months, what do I do?
   Yea, i know its a sty. At first it wasn't a big deal, then after a couple of days it got bigger and noticeable. then after 3 days it got small again(but it did not leave) and now its red. (This is since September.) Do you think it might be because of my eyeliner+what should i use to make it go away?

3. QUESTION:
   under my eyelid has a bump, what is it?
   I have a bump that almost looks like a pimple under my eyelid inside. What the hell could it be??

   • ANSWER:
     It's probably a stye which is like a pimple or boil along the eyelash. It is a bacterial infection which usually gets filled with pus.

     You could try to self treat by using warm compresses on your eyelid 4X/day or use used tea bags, still warm on your eyelid. The tannic acid from tea helps to dry out & burst the stye.

     Be extremely careful about touching your hands to your eyes. Wash hands a lot.

     You can take Aleve or Advil to relieve pain & swelling.

     If it gets worse or doesn't go away in about 5 days, go to your opthalmologist.

5. QUESTION:
   Is it possible to get a pimple UNDER?...?
   Is it possible to get a pimple UNDER your eyelid?... my eye keeps hurting bad and it feels like this bad burn, i look at my eye and its not swollen or anything so i looked under the eyelid and there's this BIG nasty white pimple (im guessing its a pimple)... do i have to see a doctor or something?... it hurts every time i blink... =/ ... Thanks for your help and time!...

   • ANSWER:
     It does sound like a stye can you pluck an ingrown hair in the area sometimes a lash gets ingrown and if you can pluck it it does drain.
     Otherwise use a really clean, really warm compress and hopefully with the gentle pressure it will open itself.

     If it doesn't heal with the compresses then do see a doctor but it should drain soon.

6. QUESTION:
   How did my rat get a pimple?
   So earlier I asked a question about why my rat got this pimple under his eyelid, but then yesterday, he was grooming himself and he wiped his face and then that popped it and now it is gone. So rats can get pimples??? wow, can you tell me maybe why he got it or why he got it??
   I said under his eyelid I meant on hid bottom eyelid.

   • ANSWER:
     It wasn't a pimple. It was a small abscess.
     I used to own rats and had one that nicked himself as he was washing his little face. Got a small abscess because of it. Right on his cheek. Took a few days for it to go away.
     Do call a vet though and ask if he should be brought in since it was up around the eye.
     An infection around the eye could cause blindness if it gets bad enough.

8. QUESTION:
   Bumps "UNDER" my UPPER EYELID?
   Guys is it normal for me to have these bumps UNDER MY UPPER EYELID? I've have them for as long as i can remember.. maybe years? That is why im not sure if it is normal or not!

   Its like little pimples under my eyelid, but its not white. Its just skin and looks like its full of puss.

   Please help! They have been irritating me for years and it hurts so bad sometimes!

   • ANSWER:
     It sounds like a stye which is a bacterial infection in either the tear duct or hair folicle of your eyelid. Try using polysporin eye drops, and also do warm compresses with a damp washcloth twice a day. Whatever you do, don't try to pop them, as the bacteria will spread and cause more. If they are not gone within a week of doing these things, talk to your your doctor.

     Edit: I'll also add that wearing eyeliner causes styes. Especially if you put it on your tear ducts. If you have been doing this, start putting the eyeliner on the outside of your eyelid - it looks just as good, and remember to always wash your eyeliner off completely every night before bed.

9. QUESTION:

   • ANSWER:
     it could still be a stye.... Its an infection and you probably got it from dust or a very dirty area. Try warm compress or steam... better yet, visit a specialist, they could you a prescription. My friend however had a stye before, no medicine at all. She just always washes it with warm water. It was gone after a month though.

      Go to an eye doctor to get it looked at. I had the same thing and as paiful as it was to do it, I tried to pop it. I woke up the next morning with my eye swollen shut.

13. QUESTION:
    I found a small pimple on my eyelid right under my lashes...?
    Its really small but it hurts so I can't rub my eye without pain. I just noticed it today and its been hurting for about 3 days now so it probably came 3 days ago (Monday). It looks like it is ready to be "popped" since it is all white. Should I pop it right now or will anything bad happen (please list)? Or should I wait until it just disappears (and how long would that take)?

    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      DO NOT pop it. It's not a pimple, it's a stye.
      If you wear makeup and don't wash it off before you go to sleep you get a stye.
      Or from using makeup that is expired (yes makeup expires) or dirty makeup brushes.
      It can also be from rubbing your eyes when your hands are dirty.

      it should take less than a week to go away.
      once you have it you just gotta deal with it until it goes away.
      and after it's gone:
      make sure you never touch anything to your eyes/face that isn't clean

    pimple under eye lid???
    my friend has some little tiny white bump under the skin of her eye lid, she had a chalazon/stye before, thats going away, but now something else is developing in her eyelid. i think it could be a pimple but not for sure. does anyone think it could be something else???

    • ANSWER:
      perhaps its a stye

16. QUESTION:
    Could new make up be cause of a stye?
    I've never really gotten a stye before, but I bought a new mascara and ever since then after I wear it I get this pimple/stye under my eyelid. It's not on my lid but right below it, I guess the top of the sore to be touching my lid. Why would this be happening now? I just bought it and the first time I used it I got a stye? I'm throwing it out and not using that brand anymore but just wondering if this perhaps happened to anyone else?

    • ANSWER:
      Well if the new mascara you bought isn't washing off properly when you clean off your makeup then it could be causing the stye by blocking an oil gland in your eyelid.
      Try using eye makeup remover at night.

17. QUESTION:
    What is wrong with my eyes......?
    I have been wearing contacts for a long time now.....and back in the day I used to sleep in them(im a bad person ....so now everytime i wear a contact lense it either dries up and irritates or moves dramasticly everytime I blink and when I take them off i feel like I have a pimple under my eyelid for about 10 minutes....does anybody know what I have and/or any home remedies for this? thanks in advance

    • ANSWER:
      Well. It would help not to wear then when you sleep. thats the worse thing to ever do. They have eyedrops on the market. Just type bad eyes into google and I'm sure they have something for it.

      It would help to eat carrots and spinach along with other fruits. They help bring nutrients to your eye and help it heal.

      Your bound to just had a tightend muscle because of the contacts.

      Sleeping with you contacts in is the worse possible thing because when your asleep, your eyes are cleaning themself and healing. I'm sure that a piece of plastic in there while your eyes going threw its daily process is going to dromatically mess up your eye.

      I would advise glasses for now and wait till you think its alright for your contacts to go back in.

20. QUESTION:
    Lump Under Eyelid...?
    Okay so I wear contacts and a couple of days ago, i began to feel pressure in my right eye but i figured it was a lack of sleep but yesterday i noticed a lump under my eye lid, the size of a pimple. Its hard and sensitive at touch. Its located in the outer corner of my right eye, top lid. Today it started tearing.. I don't think it is a stye, then again I have never had one before. I am going to the eye doctor tomorrow but I just wanted to ask on here so i can feel somewhat at ease because I'm concerned.

    Thanks:}

    • ANSWER:
      I've had one of them before and my symptoms were exactly the same. It's most likely a stye/cyst. I was given eye drops but they didn't work and I had to have a small medical procedure to get rid of it. It was really quick and only had to have local anaesthetic. I'd get it sorted sooner rather than later as they can get bigger.

21. QUESTION:
    white bump directly under eye?
    I have what looked like a small pimple under my eye...I thought at first it was acne...it is small and white. Others thought it was a STY...I researched sty's and they are red? and usually on the eyelid. this is about 1/8" under eye and has been there for about 4 months. Any ideas??????

    • ANSWER:
      I think it may be Milia
      If it's tiny, white and dome shape and hard and doesn't come off when you scratch it lightly, then it is probably Milia
      don't worry its really normal (I have some under my eyes too) and its just some skin trapped in a little pocket. It'll go away eventually and you won't even realise

22. QUESTION:
    Can u get a pimple on the inside of ur eyelid?
    My right eye has been bothering me all day, i thought it ws because of my allergies/cold but i was beginning to feel better and when i rubbed my eye the pain came back... then i took a look and thers this bump-like thing under my eyelid. I think its a pimple, but is that even possible?? im getting kinda freaked out by it soo anyone please respond!!!
    Theres a possibility that it could just be irritation from rubbing it from the allergies.. but idk at all!
    Thanx soo muchh to everyone who answered!! i've never heard of a "stye" before today.. im very relieved to know its nothing serious, once again thanx a bunch!

    • ANSWER:
      i used to get styes all of the time. i swear to you and i kid you not... the best relief is to get a clean face rag and put it under hot water, ring it out, and put it on your eye. every time it get's too cool, run it under the water again. i would just keep doing this when i was a little kid. i used to get it to the point where it hurt every time i blinked. you have nothing to lose try the rag and hot water thing i'm telling you. and it's free .. do it every day as often as you need to for a few days like the time a pimple goes away maybe less... seriosuly no eye drops no medicine... good luck =) hope i helped

23. QUESTION:
    Under my eyelid hurts!What is it?
    Under the top eyelid it hurts to touch or blink .It hurts kinda like a pimple would.Is it a pimple or a stye?

    • ANSWER:
      When it comes to eyelids, it most likely is a stye.
      Many people who wear contacts experience them more often.
      It's just bacteria in your eye causing a reaction, or in scientific terms "blocking of an oil gland at the base of the eyelash"

      the best thing to do for them is to put hot compresses on the eyelid
      if it get really swollen, you may need to poke a needle through it to help it drain
      make sure you clean it properly afterwards so no infection takes place

24. QUESTION:
    How can I get rid of small, hard white spot below my eye, sort of on my eyelid?I am unable to squeeze it.thx?
    First of all I noticed my eye looked swollen and the skin around it looked swollen when I woke up one day. This lasted a few days, then small white spot/pimple appeared under my eye, on my eyelid, but below the edge of the eyelid, so not in contact with the eye itself. people told me it probably was a sty and just goes away or take cream. I waited a week or so and nothing. so i went to the pharmacy and the person there gave me brolene eye drop cream and told me to add it 4 times a day. I did this for over a week, but nothing. i was getting this strange coloured/textured discharge rom my nose in the mornings, but i think this was just the cream passing through my eye. The have not improved at all.

    Should I go to the doctor? thanks

    • ANSWER:
      The two sources below I would believe are the most likely - look over and see which you think is more applicable, but obviously it's hard to diagnose over the internet!

      If it's causing you pain or treatment isn't working, though, go see your doctor.

27. QUESTION:
    bump under my eyelid?
    it doesnt hurt or itch
    but it kkinda freaks me out
    its a bump like a pimple but i dont think thats what it is.
    and its on the inside.

    clogged tear duct maybe?
    my mom said a calisone or something whatever that is

    what is it?

    • ANSWER:
      Your mom is right! It is called a chalazion. Put warm compresses on it and eventually it will come to a head like a pimple. When it does, gently press on it and it should drain. If it doesn't you may need to see your eye doctor.

28. QUESTION:
    Swelling under eye due to pimple? Help!?
    I went to a friend's house and managed to develop a fever while i was there. I felt my eye was itchy so i scratched it with my nail and felt pain. I look and saw i had two weird lumps under my right eye. They hurt to touch and they were located about 8-10 mm under the edge of my bottom eyelid. I left them alone until i got home, when it turned into three little tiny lumps, they were really very very tiny. They turned into whiteheads, and because they were on the soft skin under my eye they hurt a lot and i popped them very carefully. That was two days ago.

    Yesterday i was putting my makeup on and i thought it looked like i had a bag under my eye, but i dismissed it as the like because no matter what mirror you look in in my house, the light source is always shining on that side of my face (right).

    Now this morning i woke up and it's swollen considerably. The pimples have merely scabbed over, albeit a little red around the edged but nothing out of the ordinary. The swelling is nothing alarmingly hideous that would make women scream and babies cry, but i'm a teenage girl and to me it's an unsightly thing that i don't want to be seen with on my face. It's Australia day today so i have a public holiday today but i have to go back to school tomorrow, so any solutions that would help the swelling or even diagnose it, that would be great.
    I do get pimples, but they are few and far between and i don't have acne, nor have i even had it.

    • ANSWER:
      It's probably a sty, and this can be treated with a hot tea bag, a warm shower, and some hot towel compresses.

29. QUESTION:
    hard bump under my upper eyelid?
    I read this Q&A from about 3months ago. Well the other day I noticed I have a small hard bump either on my eyeball or in my upper eyelid. I'm wondering what it is or if this person ever found out what they had. Just looking for help/answers. Has anyone else every experienced this?

    Small, hard bump under eye lid, feels like on top of eyeball.?
    I just noticed a few weeks ago a very small, hard bump that I can feel on what seems to be my eyeball. When I close my eyelid I have to stretch my eyebrow and make my eye face downward in order to feel it. If I was looking straight ahead, the bump would rest right where the crease on my upper eyelid.

    Anybody have any idea what this could be?

    * 3 months ago

    Additional Details
    I guess it feels like the size of a pimple.

    But can a stye be on your actual eye or underneath the eyelid?

    I can't tell which one it is on as it's too far back underneath the lid. It doesn't hurt or bother me, really.

    Ack!

30. QUESTION:
    I have a green pimple on my eyelid what might that be?
    I popped it and it was red under it with no pus. what could it be and what would be a way to get rid of it I have had it for 1 month now

    • ANSWER:
      If it's green, then that is a sign of infection. It could be a stye or chalazion. Don't try to pop it again, it could spread bacteria and cause it to get worse. Put a hot compress on it a couple times a day and get to the doctor to get that infection treated.

34. QUESTION:
    Hardish round bump under my eye and under my bottom eyelid, what is it?
    I first got it in April, but thought nothing of it, until the end of the month. I quit wearing mascara because that is the most likely cause of it. My makeup remover wouldnt take it all off and sometimes I would go to bed without removing...dont do that. So, I tried a hot teabag for a bit in the end of April, beginning May, since we couldn't afford eyedrops then. About two to three weeks ago we got some and they have helped a bit. The red center is gone but the size hasn't decreased that much. I have a regular checkup tomorrow, but am wondering, is it a stye, or pimple? I'm afraid it's something really bad, so any help, info will help! Thank you!!:)

    • ANSWER:
      It sounds like just a stye. Talk to your doctor about how you can better take care of your eyes. Also, since styes can be caused by stress and hormonal changes try taking some time every day to unwind. It'll probably happen again later in your life but it's nothing too worry too much about.

35. QUESTION:
    My baby has a skin rash, how do I know if it is eczema, allergies or something else?
    When my baby girl was 6 1/2 months she got a tiny pimple under her right eye, like 2 days later she had 2 tiny pimples, them it spread to her eyelid but it was not bad, like some type of allergy. Then it spread to her other eye. Still, it was nothing to freak out about, we thought it would go away. At 7 months she started teething and got a runny nose, we thought it could be a cold but she did not have any other symptoms, she was like that for a week, then the weekend she was fine, she then got a runny nose again on Monday for another week and her nose became very dry after that. Since she was teething she was drooling a lot and she got a rash on her chin. Her nose got better but was really dry around. Then the rash on her chin spread to the sides of her mouth and now is spreading around her whole face. Its is a rash like when you get from the heat. Now she is 8 1/2 months and her chin has become dry, as well as on top of her upper lip and the sides of her nose, she has the rash in her eyes and it is spreading all over, she has it in her cheeks, and the texture os her skin is changing. We have taken her to the pediatrician twice already, He gave her allegra for a week, nothing happened, neosporin, and nothing happened. Today she prescribed her with antibiotics, a cream for the chin and around her mouth and oral for the yes I assume. We will be giving it to her for 2 weeks, but I am still worried, since the doctor could not tell us what it is and it keeps spreading and getting worse. Today she woke up with her eyes swollen and red around her eyes, and the allergy on her face was worse, sometimes her eyes seems itchy but like I said she does not have any other symptoms and she does not complain at all.
    The doctor prescribed her Hydroxyzine (2ML twice daily for 2 weeks) and Nystantin/Triamcinolone cream twice daily for 2 weeks as well. She also has somewhat of a purplish color under her eyes.

    • ANSWER:
      Actually, If shes still drinking formula : It sounds like what my cousin had. He developed an allergy to it and got what looked like a heat rash on his face! Took a while to go away. I think they ended up switching to a soybased formula. Good Luck!

36. QUESTION:
    Is there a pimple in my eyelid?
    I have been wearing contacts for almost a year now and had not had a problem until a month ago, every time i put in my contacts, my right eye gets really irritated and it feels like there's something under the lid, my friend said it was a pimple in my eyelid but i do not know if i should wait it out like he said or if it is something caused by the contact, anyway I am wondering if anybody has experienced something like this and can tell me if it is indeed a pimple or if it is caused by the contacts, any similar experiences with any information could help.

    Additional Information:
    I also wear make-up and have fallen asleep once or twice with my contacts in. (oopsie) And when i take my contact out it does not irritate.
    if that could help

    Well Thank You!

    • ANSWER:
      No, it's not a pimple.

      Pimples can only happen in the pores of your skin (your pores are the tiny holes where your sweat comes from). Under your eyelid, you have no pores. (And thank God, because that sweat would sting!)
      So this is not a pimple.

      The irritation is more likely caused by one of the following:

      -The shape of your eye. Unless your contacts have been fitted specifically for your eyes, it's likely that they are basically one-size-fits-all contacts. Your right eye might be slightly smaller than your left, or have a slightly different shape, meaning that your contacts don't fit as well there.

      -A condition in your right eye. Your right eye might be more sensitive because you have a minor cornea scratch, that eye is dryer because it doesn't produce tears as well as the other one does, or any number of things.

      -You have a minor, ongoing eye infection in your right eye.

      Drink lots of water and use eye drops to help your eyes stay more moist-- that will help with the irritation. Go to your eye doctor to make sure your contacts are fitting correctly, and that you don't have an eye infection.

    Pimple on my eyelid...?
    It looks exactly like a pimple/whitehead, not much redness or swelling. It is located right under my top lash line near my tear duct. It only hurts a bit when I blink ( It sorta feels like I have been punched in the eye). I did some research and it seems like it would be defined as a stye, but it doesn't look like one. Do you know what I may have and what I could do to cure it?

    The "pimple" looks like this:

38. QUESTION:
    Ulcer-like pimple on lower eyelid, slight swelling, itchy and pain? Help?!?
    Last night my left eye had been kind of itchy and irritated. When I looked in the mirror to see if there was something in it, I noticed a small ulcer-like pimple on the lower eyelid towards the inner corner of my eye. When touched, it hurt. I left it alone, hoping it would just go away overnight and thinking it was due to the amount of crying I had been doing(father passed away a week ago, so I'm also under a lot of stress).

    This morning when I woke up, my left eyelid felt heavy so I checked it again and the lower lid is swollen. It isn't too puffed out, but I can definitely feel the pressure from the swollen skin on my eye and it is very sensitive. I put a clean damp cloth on it and cleared away the sleep(left eye has a slight bit more sleep in it than right eye).

    What could this be? I have had this before a few times, usually when I cry too much but it is always gone the next day. How should I treat the swelling, and is there anything I can do to make this go away? I didn't wear any make-up yesterday so I don't think it is a reaction to that.

    Any advice is appreciated. Thank-you!
    The small ulcer-like pimple is about the size of a large end of a needle and is white in colour. It has, what looks like a small hole in the center. I'm wondering if maybe an eyelash fell out and my eye is irritated from it falling out-if that makes any sense at all.

    • ANSWER:
      That small ulcer like pimple sounds like your lacrimal punctum: does it look like this picture with the arrow pointing to it? http://fr.academic.ru/pictures/frwiki/76/Lacrimal_punctum.jpg

      The lacrimal punctum is responsible for the drainage of your tears (part of the human anatomy - you have had it since birth!!!). If you been rubbing your eyes and crying a lot it may be a lacrimal punctum infection. See your local optometrist or opthalmologist for some antibiotic drops. Also clean around your eyelids with a clean warm hand towel (not hot!!!) twice a day once in the morning after you wake up and once just before bed. You can also clean around the region with saline solution on a cotton bud.

      Whatever you do, try not to rub the eyes again as it will irritate and inflame it more. You can wrap an icepack under a towel and place it gently against the lower lid to ease the discomfort. If you do not like antibiotics you can just apply ice pack twice a day and wait two days to see if the discomfort improves, if not then definitely see an optometrist or eye specialist.

39. QUESTION:
    One eye swollen on the outside corner, hurts?
    I dont know if this helps but i had a big pimple under my right eye and i had tried to pop it and failed and i thought was what caused the eye pain. But now the pimple is completely gone and the eye still hurts a bit to blink.

    The white part of the eye is not red at all. My eyelids look maybe a bit more red than usual.

    When i poke this one spot on the corner of my eye it hurts a lot.. its like far enough outside where its on the eye socket and not on the eyelid.

    This started yesterday morning when i woke up and has been about 36 hours. Was just wondering if should schedule an appointment or wait it out another day?

40. QUESTION:
    How do I reduce an injury-like swelling around eye in twenty fours?
    OKAY.

    So there was a huge-ass deep pimple under my eyebrow last night, and being the impulsive brat I am, I decided to spend fifteen minutes repeatedly trying to pop it. It started to swell up last night, so i put ice on it for like twenty minutes and went to sleep.

    When I woke up this morning HOLY HELL my whole left eye is swollen from my eyebrow to my eyelid and I look like the freaking Hunchback of Notre Dame with one red tiny swollen red eye and one normal looking one.

    I hate hate to be a teenage girl. Really. I do. BUT there is a superbowl party with a guy that I've been obsessed with for freaking eight months and I don't want him to see me and hide under a couch.

    It's pretty bad.

    If your remedy works, you will not only receive best answer, but my eternal gratitude from the heavens when I die of happiness.

41. QUESTION:
    What could be wrong with my eye?
    For the past two days it feels like there is something stuck under my eyelid. It is so irritating and even bothers me when to close my eye. It feels like an eyelash stuck in it or something but I've been washing my eye out constantly and even used an eye wash and eye drops but the irritation doesn't seem to go away. Is it possible that there Is a pimple growing underneath my eyelid or something? Nothing seems red or swollen externally though.

    • ANSWER:
      You have to see a doctor. It might cause infection even if you do get it out and you will need medication for the discomfort it is causing , ( Do not use your fingers. If you cannot flush the foreign body out with saline solution, visit an optometrist or an opthamologist. You can really hurt your eyes by touching them or trying to perform procedures with your own untrained hands, so eyes are better left to the pros. ) ^^

42. QUESTION:
    I have a pimple on my Eyelid is that Dangerous?
    I looked it up, & It doesn't look like the google pictures of Stye or Sty. It doesn't hurt or anything. It's just like a bump, the same color of my skin, (white) & it kinda grew actually. It is under my eye lashes on my left eye lid, on the bottom eye lid. Doesn't hurt when I touch it & that same kind of pimple, (I wouldn't really call it a pimple) I have that same kind of bump thing, on my body- like on my chest. It's really hard to describe, now that I have you on the line, what are those things? I have one on my chest, it's like a little thin Pimple that comes out & it's like there for a long time! doesn't seem to get bigger or smaller or go away. I notticed one on my neck & I notticed a friend of mine has one on his neck too.

    I can accept email on my account, so u can email me too.thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I can't answer as to the exact contents of the bump, but I can tell you that if I'm reading your description correctly (a bump that doesn't EVER seem to change in size that has a whitish look to it) then I've had the same thing. I had one in the middle of my top eyelid. It bugged me for about a year and I finally decided to do something about it and so I lanced it open and removed the white fatty tissue... Of course it had a small scab, but once that healed, the bump was gone and has never returned.

43. QUESTION:
    What is this bump under my eye?
    So I just woke up this morning and my eye felt weird so I rubbed it, thinking it was just me being sleepy. It didn't go away so I looked in the mirror and under my eye is all puffy. It doesn't hurt at ALL and I'm pretty sure it's not a sty because this girl in my class had one a couple years ago and it was just like a little pimple on her eyelid... this is like, under my eye and its just like the skin has puffed out, its not red or anything.

    Despite it not being red or hurting or anything, it looks weird in itself and makes my eye look smaller than the other one, and along with my (also new) large zit on my nose the result is ugly as hell.

    So please help!

46. QUESTION:
    White pimple thing?
    It's NOT a blackhead, millia, etc. It's just one little white dot under my eyelid and it's about the size of a zit. It's been there a while, maybe a year? I don't think it's anything serious. I just asked this question and I got a lot of weird answers. I can't pop or scrape it off. Help!

    • ANSWER:
      It's probably a keloid. Ask your dermatologist about removing it; it might, however, grow back. They are common around the eyes.

49. QUESTION:
    What is this lump on my eye lid?
    First off its not a pimple or a wart. it just appeared 2 weeks ago, a perfectly round bump on my upper eyelid, not the edge but in the middle, basically looks like something is on my eyeball under the eyelid skin but theres nothing. I thought it might be a Stye but there is no pain or discomfort, nothing, wouldnt have even noticed it if my girlfriend didnt see it. what could it be?

    • ANSWER:
      Probably is a stye. The only reason they hurt is because they cause friction against the cornea, but if it isn't touching the cornea too much, there's a chance you wouldn't feel it.

50. QUESTION:
    Feels like there's something in my eye but there isn't?
    Sometimes I get "pimples" under my eyes so it feels like there's something in my eye. So I thought this was just another pimple thing but it's been a few weeks and it's still irritating me. The "pimple" things usually only last for like 3-4 days. So I did some tests and stuff on my eye like I poked my eyelid to see if there really was anything under there but I didn't get any irritating sensation.

    But then I poked my pupil (I wear contacts so my eyes aren't irritated when I touch them)and I felt that feeling that there's something in my eye. I looked more to the left and poked it again and I got the feeling again. So I think it's my iris/pupil area that there's some feeling that something's in my eye. Does anyone know what's wrong? Sorry if it sounds confusing!
    Oh! It's not painful at all by the way but it is uncomfortable. It just feels...strange. Like I keep rubbing my eyes automatically to get something out of my eye though there's not really anything there.

    • ANSWER:
      maybe your contact has a tear or a scratch on it, and that's what's bothering your eye. Take the contacts out and inspect them, rinse them , and put them back in. if that didn't work, then I suggest you go to the eye doctor, because it could be something serious.
