I'VE HAD MY STYE FOR 6 MONTHS!!!!!!!!

[fendergrl]

Yes, I've had my stye for 6 months now, I've beed trying to get rid of it. I went to an eye doctor, he said it was a "pimple"... that sounds like BS to me. He also prescribed me TobraDex Stye Ointment, but I've seen NO results out of it. I also tried the warm compress, but my stye is too old and solid to react to it. It itches me, some days it's red-er than others, other days it has pieces of dead skin coming off of it, and 2 days ago I noticed a Bump on top of my stye, and I realized that I am growing a Stye on top of a Stye that I already have....... HELP PLEASE????!!!

Most bumps that last 6 months are not styes but chalazions or growths (almost always benign). See a Eye MD ophthalmologist. Find one at www.aao.org
