How to Get Rid of a Stye FAST - Chalazion VS Stye Treatment

Learn how to get rid of a stye on your eyelid FAST! A stye could be anything growing on the eyelid but the most common is an eye pimple (hordeolum) and a chalazion. Thankfully, both chalazion home treatment and stye treatment are similar and often even resolve on their own.

About This Video: In this video, Joseph J. Allen, OD FAAO from Doctor Eye Health explains the difference between chalazion vs stye and reviews the different types of eye stye treatment options available. If you have some type of eye stye or maybe you have an “eye pimple” it could be a hordeolum - an eyelid infection - or it could be a chalazion (an eyelid cyst made of blocked up oils). Thankfully, there are many ways of how to get rid of a stye fast and eye chalazion home treatment is very similar to other stye treatment methods. An important lesson in this video is if you have a eye chalazion or eyelid stye, a stye pop is not recommended unless it happens naturally. Popping a stye on your eyelid could just make things worse. As always, if experiencing any pain or loss of vision you need to consult your local eye care professional ASAP.

🔴 Question: Which part of this video helped you the most? Did you learn something new?

[pdvision]

$20 says everyone reading this currently has a stye.

[DTUTREMIX]

I know everyone here is probably miserable right now, but damn what passion and positivity this man has. Like such a well made video.

[ShanTZY]

I had a stye for more than two months which bothered me a lot at work but when I tried the warm compress and eyelid exercise my stye disappeared. Thank you, Doc👍

[yoginiwadhwani]

Me in the morning with a massive bump on my eyelid: das suspicious....das weird

[jerrycarbonell]

Got a stye the night before a job interview. Great😀

[ariava]

I got eye stye twice before. The first time i got it i really don't know what to do and it took like 2 months to heal. The second time took only 1 week to heal because i take antibiotics and did the hot compressed as many times as i can each day. I think the hot compressed help the stye to pop by its own. It's a horrible experience and i pray that anyone having it right now will heal soon 🙏🏻

[StephenAubreyMusic]

Warm up the back of a spoon under hot water, (touch to make sure it’s not burning hot) then apply it to the affected area. Hold it there until it’s not warm then do it again, repeat for like 10 or 15 minutes. Feels good and helps move things along. My styes and swelling resolved in a few days.

[schmuckyiddish]

Why do us humans have to deal with this 😩

[ratacastillo]

"Do not try to pop that type of stye."
Me watching this after trying to pop that type of stye: e 👄 o

[emmanuel.v]

Thank God (and the Doctors) for Dr’s like you that take the time to make YouTube videos for us.

[almaspatel]

This absolutely works.!
I had a chalazion for over 3-4 months and warm cloth compress was not working. I got an eye mask and did warm compress 5 times a day. Even at work I used to do it. It was healing but not vanishing completely but after a week while I had the mask on and sleeping woke up to a bursted chalazion. Consistency is the key.

[ROCKYv]

Keep it warm huh? Grabs heat gun and melts eye

[msab]

Dr Allen is a GEM! I learned more in 6 minutes in the privacy of my home here than at any urgent care, ER or most family practices. KUDOS to you Dr Allen. This is a very valuable service you provided! Thank you!

[patriotallen]

My stye has a small head on it. It came up relatively quickly after heat treatment. My wife advised me not to pop it...and then I found this to reinforce that. So this was very helpful. will just continue with heat treatment four times a day and hope it goes away. Thanks. Doctor Eye!

[soupslush]

“It can go away in about 7-14 days.”
Me who has had one for a month and it never went away
Edit: its finally gone 🥳

[USNMelDaria]

This is my first stye and hopefully my last!!😩😬

[MsGallacher]

Thank you.. great advice and soothing for my eye, glad I had the sense to look it up 😉

[daviddevo]

Thank you so much for this phenomenal information. Using the eyelid massage technique I managed to rid my eye from a Chalazion I had for a year, and literally after 2 days! Anyone watching these videos, know that this is gold and works legit.

[igolf]

What I do which really helps is the second you feel a style coming on, even if you can’t see it yet, immediately put in eye drops specifically meant for style treatment. Do this about 3 times a day. Apply a hot compress as he said about 5-6 times a day. If you do this for about 2 days before the style has fully formed, hopefully you prevent it from growing and becoming painful. Hope this helps!!!
