A couple of weeks ago, Mama noticed a lump or a small boil growing on the eyelid of my right eye. Although it wasn’t painful, it did feel rather itchy at times, and quite irritating too. And since I’m a girl, I guess these things would definitely matter more to me. :-p
Papa looked it up and said it could be something known as ‘sty’ or another variant called colazoin or something spelt like that. The articles also gave some handy tips of clearing this up. Amazing how this wonder called the Internet can also be known as a virtual doctor. Hee!
Thus began Mama’s daily routine of putting a damp warm cloth on the infected area. After a few days, the discharge came out on its own and I’m sty-free! Yay!
Anyhow, during a visit to the doc to get my second jab, he confirmed that it is that colazoin thingy (can’t they just call it sty v2 or something simpler?!), and asked Papa and Mama to continue monitoring my eyes…which shouldn’t be a problem because the gleam in my eyes just seems to attract everyone to monitor me closely…hee!
hey Caitlynn, ask Mama to try using saline solution to dampen the cloth. it works wonders for puffy, sensitive areas around the eyes!
Caitlynn: Thanks for the tip, jiejie!
