Sty in my eye.

I have a growing sty in my eye. It has been bothering me these past few days, since not only does it affect me physiologically, it's also affecting me psychologically. You know, aesthetics and all that. My good friend Toj mentioned that she has the same problem, although in her case it occurs more frequently: she has them at least twice every year. I asked her what she does with the sty, to which she recommended a simple yet effective way of removing it: warm compress. Just place the compress on the affected eye, wait for the pus to come out, and presto! No more sty!

Unfortunately, it hasn't been that effective for me. I forgot to ask how long and how hot the warm compress should be, so maybe I'm not doing something right. Yes, I've tried it, and I'm pretty sure that the swelling on my eye has not gone down. If I look at it at a certain angle I'm pretty sure that the bump looks a little bit more depressed, but then again, I might be just fooling myself.

Sigh. I don't like this sty. If anyone has anything to say about any remedies not involving herbalists, eating vegetables, or cockroaches, please let me know.
