I had this happen to me when I used certain mascaras - my eyelids (actually, usually just one of them...) would get all swollen and red. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-402691 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 12:34:27 +0000 Smurfette 402691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think it is a stye. Put a hot compress on it off and on all day. That should help it go down by tomorrow. At least that is always my experience with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-402638 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 12:16:55 +0000 boiledpnut 402638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it really red? Hot to the touch? You might have blepharitis. Warm compresses will help. It can be pretty painful though. </p> <p><a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/blepharitis/DS00633" rel="nofollow">http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/blepharitis/DS00633</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-402610 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 12:02:45 +0000 tororojo 402610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could be a stye, I have gotten one on the top of my eyelid before--I think a hot washrag was the best remedy. Although logically it seems like cold might be better...I hope it goes away soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-401893 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 02:31:15 +0000 SAHM0811 401893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: sometimes in the beginning styes don't hurt... they start to a little later. and yes, they usually only affect the eylids, not eyeballs. well, whatever it is, hope it goes away soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-401875 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 02:02:53 +0000 Arden 401875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: Could be, but my eyeball looks totally normal. It's not red or anything. And wouldn't it hurt if it was a stye? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-401869 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:53:30 +0000 SAHM0811 401869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>could it be the beginning of a stye? whatever it is, keeping a warm compress on it could help in the long run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-401831 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:24:10 +0000 banana 401831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I usually only get it in one eye too. But it's always allergies for me. How weird!! I wonder what it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-401829 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:23:03 +0000 Arden 401829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Nope. No other symptoms either. And it's only one eye! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-401828 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:22:03 +0000 banana 401828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get those when my environmental allergies start acting up. Do you have seasonal allergies? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-eyelid#post-401827 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 01:21:00 +0000 Arden 401827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just watching TV and realized my eye felt really funny. Almost like it wasn't opening up all the way, just really weird. </p> <p>So I got up and looked in the mirror, and my eyelid is swollen! Not around my eye, not under my eye, just my eyelid. It's super swollen and I can't open my eye all the way because of it. When I touch it (with my eyes closed), it feels like a marshmallow. It's all squishy.<br /> My eye isn't red, everything else seems normal. It doesn't hurt, and it's only one eye. </p> <p>Any idea what the heck is going on? </p>
