For styes, apply warm, moist compresses for 10 to 15 minutes at least three times a day. As with all abscesses, the objective is to drain the abscess. The compresses help the abscess to "point." This means that the tissue over the abscess become quite thin and the pus in the abscess is very close to the surface. After an abscess points, it often will drain spontaneously. If this doesn't happen, the abscess may need to be lanced by the doctor. Most styes will drain spontaneously even without home treatment. They may drain inward toward the eye or outward onto the skin. Sometimes the stye goes away without coming to a point and draining. See your health care provider as soon as possible (ophthalmologist), for consultation.
I hope this helps you. And good luck.
