Ive had this now for over a month. Any tips??

I don’t know if it is a chalazion yet, it could be an internal stye because of this White dot inside of my eyelid

It has been like this for two weeks after the stye originally drained for 3 days in my sleep. I feel like the three plugs are blocked and I don’t want it to turn into a chalazion. This already postponed my LASIK for a month :( How can I get the last of it out? Tobradex, baby shampoo, warm compresses, massages and hypochlorous acid didn’t help.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here might relate because I’ve been dealing with this for years and still don’t have answers.
For about 5 years now I’ve had puffiness in my left eye, especially in the morning. It never used to happen before, it just slowly started and now it’s basically there every day. It usually gets a bit better as the day goes on but never fully goes away.

I’ve noticed it’s much worse if I drink alcohol or smoke the night before. It also gets worse after being out in windy or sunny weather, or if I spend a lot of time on screens. My eyes in general feel sore and tired a lot of the time, and sometimes they actually hurt, especially when I look left or right.
Some days after work my eyes feel so exhausted I can barely keep them open, even if I wasn’t on a screen all day, and I already know the next morning the puffiness will be worse.
I’ve seen five different ophthalmologists and no one has been able to explain it. Two of them mentioned I might have a slightly lower eyelid on that side (ptosis) but said it doesn’t really explain everything.
It also feels deeper than just surface irritation, and it’s mostly just the left eye which makes it even more confusing.
It’s affecting my daily life but also my confidence because of how it looks. I feel soreness and puffines in left eye all the time and it’s tiring.
Has anyone experienced anything similar or found a cause? I’d really appreciate any ideas or things to look into.

This is the worst of these that I’ve ever had. I attached pictures of the progression. Been doing warm compresses including salt water compress with cotton pad, today I added Ocusoft lid scrub wipes. It became most painful today, especially sore to touch (I’m not touching except to clean with lid wipes and massage warm compress). Like, super painful. Should I go to urgent care? I’m weary of going for them to just tell me what I already know, but I don’t know. I’ve never had a painful one like this.

It’s now been four days, every Time I wake up the swollen is just as bad as the day before, but it seems to calm down during the day. I do hot compress four Times a day, they make it smaller a bit but it doesn’t seem to help that mutch. I have been on tobradex for now 3 days. Any recommandation? How long do you think it is going to take? Can it dissapear by one week?

My eye has gotten very very swollen and red for the last 48 hours. I saw a doctor that told me to put tobradex. I have an event in three days. Do you think it can go away this fast ? Helpppp

Hi, im 24F, 5’9, 130lbs. I take timolol for my glaucoma.

Its been 1 month that I’ve had irritation on the eyelid of my left eye and it keeps getting worse. It started with only the lower eyelid being swollen, then it became extremely itchy, then red and the skin started crusting. It’s like a cycle: it itches, then it “flares up,” swells and becomes bright red, then crusts over and starts again. Now it has spread to my upper eyelid too. The itching is intense and unbearable.

I went to a pharmacist and was prescribed an antibiotic ointment and warm compresses, but nothing has changed. I got gel nails done about a month ago, but I removed them immediately when I noticed the irritation. I also bought a new mascara, but I stopped using it.

Important to know: I have glaucoma in both eyes and I can’t use certain medications on my eyes, such as corticosteroids.

Does anyone have an idea what this could be? It’s becoming unbearable.

I’m on antibiotics and an eye ointment for this crazy stye. It has been going on for almost two weeks. Should I seek more medical help?

The First Image was on Tuesday, the second image is today on Friday. Is this normal knowing that I had multiple chalazia removed in the upper and lower eyelid? I feel everything is "yellower"
