I appreciate your feedback. Mine was the eyelid gland was plugged up and caused a swelling of the eyelid. Not an actual infection but a plugged up gland. Some people think this is a sty because it looks like it but it is not. After using the warm compresses it dissipates and sometimes the waxy substance from the swelling will come out. You can actually see it - looks like a small thin plug coming out of the eyelid.
