Consider that fair warning.
So today, I was sitting at my desk and my left eyelid got itchy. So I got my compact out and looked. And I saw a little bump. And I could actually feel it getting bigger.
So of course, I’m going to share the pictures I took of my grotesque giant eyeball and puffy eyelid.
Continue at your own risk.
Should you scroll down any further, please disregard all the ugly little lines under my eyes, the fact that you can see my contact lens, my poorly applied eye makeup, and my unruly/untweezed eyebrows. I was too lazy to photoshop these pictures. Thanks. –The Management
This is my eyelid right when I felt the itchiness. You can’t see the bump because my eye is open.
So here it is a few seconds later… closed.
Sorry it’s blurry, but I was taking the picture with my eyes closed. Ha! It was pretty itchy at this point, but you can see the bump pretty clearly.
Five minutes later, I looked at my eye, and the bump had gotten bigger! Wanna see?
Look how my eyelid is all weird and poofy. Oh yay!
Actually, you can really see the bump when I close my eyes…
Eeek!
The good news was that this was about as big as it got. It’s still there, but it’s not as bad. It just kind of looks like I’m wearing red eyeshadow.
I wonder what it was?
you realize that there are those that wouldn’t even notice the difference? do you need additional tasks to keep you busy at work?
i bet that hurts… =(
happy weekend anyways!
didn’t you have this last year when allergies were really bad? same thing happened to me…and i just did warm moist compresses until the stye (or whatever it was) popped its gooey goodness while i was asleep. i didn’t know this until i was wondering why i couldn’t open up my eyelid.
Looks like a stye to me, but I’m no doctor.

i think i’ve had one of those before… it went away after a couple of days, and i never found out what it actually was.
i emailed the picture to a friend of mine who’s a specialist. he says you’re dieing.
or it’s a stye.
It’s not a stye!
It’s actually more likely a slight allergic reaction to something or other! (I took a benadryl and it went away)
Hrmm.. I would say an infection too. I had those before… I usually just drink lots of water..and go to bed early at night….
it went away in about 2-3 days….
Hope you feeling better
Joz, hon, I hate to break it to ya, but you got serious problems. Serious, serious problems.
Hope it goes away, and you no longer have serious, serious problems.
Aha! Allergies. (doing my best Elmer Fudd impression) And as Wobewt pointed out pweviouswy, it is vewy, vewy sewious.
See if you can get a note from your doctor, JozJozJoz is allergic to work… recommend couch rest, extra butter popcorn, and (mindless) *wink wink* educational tv for one week.
You gots the stink eye. Or, a stye. Lance it!
yup, it’s a stye. the inflammation will go away, but it may come back. you need to put hot compresses on it.
How to make a compress: Wet a washcloth with really hot water. Apply this wrung out washcloth, as hot as you can stand it, until it gets cool, then go again, for 15+ mins, 2x a day.
A less messy way of doing it is: you can wet a cloth wring it out, and then pop it in the microwave for a few seconds, then apply it, then re-nuke it when it gets cold. Your hands (and face) will be a lot drier this way.
BTW - I’m a chef, not a doctor, so you should only listen to what I’m saying because my husband gets them All The Tiime. and if you don’t fix it, the next step is ointment in your eye. ick. And if it still doesn’t fix it, you’ll need surgery to have it removed. OUCH!
What you have is called optical cystitis. Trust me it sucks but it does not last that long. One thing that I find helps is disolvinhg a cup of arm & hammer into 3 cups of warm water, as hot as you can tolerate, and soaking it on your eye for somewhere about 5 minues on 5 minutes off. Trust me it will feel better.
Hope it get better for you,
