Overnight Sty Relief

Over the course of my 23 years, I have been a victim of the common sty a handful of times. It's an irritating red bump that appears right along the line of your eye lashes, on the top or bottom lid. A sty is an infection of a gland in your eyelid. They look something like this:



Fucking gross, right? What kind of person wants to run around with something like this on their face all day, for DAYS? I remember, the first time I got one, I had no idea what had happened. I went to the ophthalmologist and he prescribed an ointment, and when I got to the pharmacy, it was $50! I refused the prescription and went to my next (and always greatest) source, my momma. She recommends taking a Q-Tip, dipping it into Johnson's Baby Soap, and running it along the lash line. This will clean the area and in turn help with the infection!


GENIUS!
