left stye eye?

[paanaakala]

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?

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.

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.
