You should visit your ophthalmologist to have a complete examination and determine if you need additional treatment.
The spot may remain as a scar.
Use warm compresses. Keep area clean. If eyelid starts to swell more, you may need to see an eye care specialist for an antibiotic prescription.
A stye is like a pimple on the lid. Squeezing it might hurt, but will usually not change its course. Use multiple (5 times per day) of very warm, but not hot soaks from your faucet. That should quickly get rid of it.
Hello! Styes are no fun and now they seem to have become more prevalent, we suspect due to the mask use. We do not recommend you squeeze them. Instead try a daily warm compress for 5 minutes. Once the style drains, it may become a scar...it is hard to comment without a picture to see exactly where the stye was...I recommend you make an appointment to see an ophthalmologist. Good luck!
