Very old Stye in the lower eyelid
I developed a stye in the inner side of my lower eyelid about 4 months back. I did hot compresses . Although it's not painful nor it causes any physical discomfort now, the lump is still present
How can I get rid of that??
thanks.

Now the pus in the stye has solidified. Best way to remove is by making a small cut and evacuating the pus. Very small procedure. You can go ahead anytime

It's long standing so conservative and medical line of management won't work much. Definitive treatment is Incision and Curettage. Meet any nearby Ophthalmologist whenever safely possible next.
