There's a small white bump on my.. upper lashline? It's on the water line but on top and it hurts a lot :( I've read some articles saying that it could be a stye if it hurts. But I don't know if it is a stye? It's not red, but I'm afraid it can turn into one. Idk I just want to know what it is and how to get rid of it..

Yes I just mousirizered it and I used eye drops to keep any infections from forming so that the inside of my eye is clean too.

My mum works in opthamology, I get them a lot and she told me they are just like zits and you can scratch it with your nail to pop it.

They are called sties. Do you wear contacts or not wash you eye makeup off well? I get them all the time because I don't take out my contacts everynight. What do is put a hot rag over my high to get it open, then it'll be easier to pop. Hope this helps!

Its probably a stye. You can get those from sharing makeup. You can pick up topical medicine for it at a drug store, but it will most likely go away in a couple of days. I would just leave it alone. You don't want to irritate it more.

I've always heard them as sties. Get something yellow gold (I use a yellow gold ring) and rub it on the sty for a second

It could be a build up of meibom, causing a chalazion. Similar to the skin, eyelids have tiny pores along the lashline that release a lipid lubricant. Just like a build up of sebum in a pore on the skin can cause a pimple, a build up of meibom in one of the pores on the lashline can cause a chalazion. Try filling the foot of some panty hose with rice and microwaving it until it is warm. Holding this against the effected eye will cause the meibom to loosen up and decrease swelling. If the problem persists, I suggest seeing an ophthalmologist, as it could be due to a dysfunctional meibomian gland.
