For two days now before I thought about buying sidi cobra boots, I’ve been plagued by that we, Filipinos, call a “kuliti” or sty in English. A sty is the condition when the oil gland at the base of the eyelash gets infected. I’m quite lucky actually since my right eye is not that swollen. But, hen I say plagued, I really mean it. Not only is it really itchy, it also is painful. Even the simple actions such as blinking seem so painful. The only funny thing about having a sty is the jokes people keep on throwing at me– yes, it is believed in the Philippines that a sty is the punishment for a peeping tom.
Anyway, friends told me 2 ways to cure a sty. The first to remove an eyelash closes to the swollen area to relieve the swelling and the second is to warm compress the area every 5 hours. They claim that these methods really work. I’m trying both so wish me luck.
