Stye or Pinkeye?

2017-12-04 16:12:31
My boyfriend has been diagnosed with pinkeye and is taking antibiotics. Last night I felt a band of tender pain along my upper eyelid, and noticed a bump and some redness. No crusting, no bloodshot appearance. Just want to confirm this is a stye and see if I can avoid a trip to Urgent Care.
