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? -------------------- Cheryl, Olivia's mom

It sounds like a stye to me hope she is feeling better soon -------------------- ~~~~Edie, Jason 9/23/02, and Emma 11/19/06~~~~ The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

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. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

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.
