Poohbear, I gave it a week before I went "under the knife".
To tell you the truth, the best thing I did was get it lanced....it was so quick and easy and healed a lot faster than it obviously going away on it's own....which it wasn't!!!
I am much better today! It is not as swollen, and it never developed a "white head" but, it feels and looks better! I swear this was the worst thing next to birthing babies! Hopefully it will continue to get better and GO AWAY! I did do the "stye stye in my eye" Yesterday, so maybe that worked TOO!
