left stye eye?

I have a swelling pimple like infection on my left upper eye lid, right at the tip of the eyelash line.  It hurts to blink.
What can I do to cure this?

I would recommend that you see an eyeMD for treatment.  A stye is an infection on the eyelid.  Warm compresses and an antibiotic ointment may be prescribed if this is the diagnosis.

Pluck the lash out if you can with tweezers and use a hot compress for a couple of days. You will be fine.  I would suggest seeing an optometrist though just to be sure sp they can get a good look of you lid behind the microscope ( slit lamp).  They can prescribe an antibiotic for you too.  Good luck.
