Nice Stye! Never had one myself. How long do they usually last for?

Howdy, Seebs. I think a few days- this one is in day two, and doesn’t seem to be getting smaller. It’s some kind of pimple, evidently. When it’s really bad, each time you blink feels like someone just dragged an over-sized grain of sand across your eyeball. It ain’t a fun experience.

Have you tried rubbing it with an item (usually a ring) made from gold? I know it’s an old wives tale, but apparently there is some sort of chemical re-action and the stye reduces in size and eventually disappears.
Of course, this will probably happen anyway!

it can help to place a cooled teabag over the eye for 8-10 mins, several times per day
sugary and starchy things are meant to feed stye bacteria, so avoid them till it’s all gone
get well soon

Apparently, if you hold you head in a bucket of water (preferably a gold bucket) for about an hour, you stop noticing the stye! Give it a try and let me know how you go.

Thx, Optimus; I don’t have anything made of gold, unfortunately so that one will have to wait.
And Vetti; I have never heard the teabag one, so will try that one out-thx!
And Coops; I’ve got it all sorted. I just chopped my head off. So whilst the stye is not bothering me any more, I am just grateful I learnt to touch type.

Apparently if you hold a high F# on your Gibson Les Paul for around 3 minutes, it should disappear over the course of the day.
