I have never got eye styes before but i randomly started getting them this year in January. I noticed i get them right before tests/exams. I just got one on my right eyelid (probably cuz exams are coming). I just don't know how to deal with these. Before i used to put a warm damp cloth on my eye to ease it but these days I'm always at univeristy to i abviously can't do that anymore. It hurts everytime i blink. What should i do?

Try not to touch it at all. Get saline eye drops and moisten the eye as directed. The warm cloths still sound good too. I hope it clears up soon. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. (((((Hugs)))))

And have a look here

You should go to the doctor and get some medication for the sty and continue with the warm, wet cloth. Stys are contagious until a couple days after you start treating them. Also, whenever you touch your eye you should wash your hands or you will spread it to the other eye.
Thanks for this!
