You remind me of Ace Ventura when he gets hit in the thighs with the spears lol. "You cry like girl". Sorry man, I had to.

It'll go away, at most, in a few days. I wouldn't recommend sticking any sharp objects in the direction of your eye.

it'll go away by itself, but make sure not to rub your eyes with your hands. Lots of germs will get in if you do.

Go talk to a pharmacist, you may be able to get some drops to help it.

A stye is also called a hordeolum. It is a pimple caused by skin germs that infect the tunnel through which the eyelashes emerge. A stye is usually tender and eventually develops a pointy white head before it bursts. They can be quite tender and irritating.

A moist, hot compress will speed resolution. Antibiotics are not necessary. The stye has to drain, whether on its own or with a doctor's help. Sometimes it can grow so large that surgical drainage is advised.

There are some look-alike lesions that can mimic a stye, so if it doesn't clear promptly in 5-7 days be sure you see your ophthalmologist for an evaluation.

Probably by rubbing your eyes by habit.

I had one two weeks ago, my first one as well. I had to wear glasses for a few days because it was so big I couldn't get my contact in. As soon as that sucker showed a white head, I popped it with a needle..... ahhhh it felt so good.
