my face is clean.
my makeup is new.

Hi scarlet, it sounds as if you have a mild case of conjuctivitus. Just get some drops from the pharmacy and boil wash the towels and pillow cases. If it's mild it can be easily spread. Does it weep and have white globs in it?


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)   ranked 20 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

no,it just swells and sooner or later makes a little head,like a pimple.
until it breaks it puts awful pressure on the lid though.
i am going to the pharmacy as soon as it opens tho-hopefully they have something new i can try.


myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (5382)   ranked 3 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

Yuck. Well good luck in getting rid of it, in the meantime play it up for the sympathy vote and get the slobs to do the housework.happy

Sorry to hear you're having this eye problem...one great remedy for any kind of eye problems....eyebright herb...as the name suggests it's great for nearly any eye problem...just boil up some water, add the eyebright let steep, drain (if loose tea/herb) then chill. Can use an eyedropper, or soak a cotton square or ball--I've even have used it whenever my kitties had eye problems


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)   ranked 20 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

i thought of eyebright-but i'm not sure where i can get it here nowadays.
our last local herb store closed.sad
i might order some online though,because i know it will happen again.

you would think with the growing hispanic population we have here now there'd be one yerberia.sad

hate to say this, but maybe talking to the doc about getting a med to put in it when it happens

My dad had one holiday pictures with a black eye because he had to have a very minor surgery on his face and, because of his blood cancer, even that gave him a black eye.

Both of my black eyes didn't happen around holidays, one was when I fell off a horse on my head and the other was when I totaled a car on the freeway...


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)   ranked 20 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

i may have to if this doesn't stop happening.
i never used to have a reoccuring problem with this.

i had double blackeyes once,but that was act of brother LOL


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 106 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

the car wreck one totally filled my right eye socket and "spilled" over a bit into the left one, but that was obviously not as bad as the right one - my eye was swollen shut


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)   ranked 20 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

YEEEEOW!!!blink
that sounds incredibly painful..sad


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 106 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

it was pretty painful - but not as painful as the headache that I had for AGES after the wreck...

Use a gold ring and rub it across your eyelid. It sounds crazy, but does work.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)   ranked 20 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

i'm willing to try anything right now,my eye is closing.

Pluck the hair that's right in the head of the thing. I got rid of the one I got that way. It'll hurt like hell, but it'll feel better at the same time. You'll know when you've got the right one because of how much it'll hurt, but get that thing out of there and I think you'll be surprised at the results.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)   ranked 20 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

the head of it is actually under the eyelid aways back.
i don't think a hair caused it..i wish it had tho that would have been so much easiercry

Gosh, no idea, but hope it gets better in time for the picture. I'm sure you don't want to have to take one with an eye patch!

i really wish i knew also and could help. my one daughter gets them at least once every 6 or 7 months. shes not sure where shes getting them either. i hope someone can tell you something. i've never had the problem.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7729)   ranked 188 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

btw, is it possible the kitties are laying on your pillow or near your face? my daughter always gets them when her kitties get on her pillow.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)   ranked 20 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

no,they usually sit at the foot of the bed-this troop is good about staying off pillows.i keep thinking it must be a vitamin deficiency of some kind..maybe my vitamins suck..i might have to get a new kind..
i never had them til 30-i don't know why now.

You might need to go see the doctor, it may be a medical condition.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scarlet_woman (11395)   ranked 20 out of 32,957 in life  3 years ago

i think i'm going to have to if it doesn't stop.
i'm completely puzzled as to why all the time now.
