What is this? Does it need to be looked at?

Sounds like it could be a stye or a blocked tear duct. I get them occasionally, every year or so and they tend to clear up by themselves in a couple of days. If it was me I'd probably just give it a day or two and if it isn't getting any better go to the GP.

Sounds like a stye to me too - they usually resolve themselves in a day or so.

Thanks Miss E & ausgirl I was hoping someone would say that - that they generally go away on their own. I'll definitely go to the docs if it gets worse or doesn't go away, but DH is worried about everything at the moment lol, wondering if things are made worse by pregnant

use a hot washer on it to help drain anything out of it. it may relieve the pressure and pain it it

Thanks Lulliloo I did find when I was in the shower yesterday that the hot water helped, so I'll definitely keep that up - seems to feel better after

Rub gold on it. it works

Really? Does it have to be yellow gold? I only have white
