How To Get Rid Of Stye On Eye?
I have a really big sty on my left eye that just won't go away. I need it gone by Tuesday or if possible sooner. I've been using Erythromycin in my eye for a couple days now and it got so bad that I resorted to wearing an eye patch when I go out on public because it looks so disgusting. Hot compresses are not working and I don't know what else to do. I really need it to go away. Help

It requires appellation of eye lash. Pus will come out with it and clean it with sterile swab. Now you can apply neosporine eye ointment on lid margin.
