Grrr... I have a stye that does not want to go away. I've been doing warm compresses with just a warm washcloth. I bought some Orgeon Grape Root extract today to add to the water for the compress. I'm hoping come tomorrow with the continued warm compresses that it'll get better. This darn thing hurts :td Any other suggestions for getting rid of a stye? I'd hate to go the the Dr. and pay for a visit for something stupid like a stye.

I have one this week too :/ A few days ago, I looked like a prize fighter. I have been doing hot compresses to no avail. My friend told me to do a black tea compress. I might try that tonight.

In the past, I have been able to bring them to a head(sorry, TMI) with just hot water, but this one is really hanging on. I am sick too, so maybe that's why.

I have been adding Oregon Grape Root extract to my warm compress - seems to be helping.
