3. I'm waiting for you to ask about my mother now....

Actually - i don't have a rash - but you know what? my eyeball is broken.

I slept in eyeliner the other night and my eyelid swoll up and it's been like this for 3 days. i've also been on graveyard shift, so i'm not gettign the kind of sleep i need for it to go away quickly. I've been sticking frozen teabags on it when it's slow at work.

I don't knwo if it's a stye or just a blocked duct. What do you suggest doc?

4. Take some baby oil on a Q-tip and wipe it - gently - on your eyelid

6. One more thing...

Never, ever, touch your eyelids with your fingers. I know it's difficult when they itch. But that is the secret to not getting any infections...

you're welcome! :hi:
