it doesn't itch? My 4.5 year old has a red bump on the rim of her eyelid (lower) not in the corner. She says it hurts, doesn't appear to be itching it. I was hoping it was a stye and not pink eye. Anyone know the difference? Do you seek treatment for a stye?

I think pink eye is itchy and may cause the eye to be bloodshot too. It sounds like a stye to me
hope she is feeling better soon -------------------- ~*~*~*~Edie, Jason 9/23/02, and Emma 11/19/06~*~*~*~

I had a stye once that sounds just like what you described. It hurt, not itched. The doc had me put a warm washcloth on it several times throughout the day, and resist the temptation to squeeze the "gunk" out, that will only make it worse. HTH.

I agree, it sounds like a stye. My doc also said to clean it with baby shampoo before doing the warm wash cloth. Hope it clears up soon.

Doesn't sound like pinkeye, I am the queen of that for some reason--I think it's my contacts. Sounds like a stye to me too--those are painful. Pink eye will be just what it sounds like---your eye is pink, itchy, watery, and can gunk up.

Oh, THANK YOU!!! We're leaving on vacation on Friday and a trip to the doc was not in the plan! That was the answer I was hoping for!!
