My 2 yr old had them for about a year....would come and go...that's the worst thing there's nothing that really helps to get rid... Its a blocked oil gland you can pick some stuff up at the pharmacy which may help...but a hot compress is the best thing to do that's what the doctor said.

But what if it's actually IN her eye as she says, so inside the lid not outside? Could be tricky lol

Same as April - rub a gold ring on it, my mum used to swear by it! I went through a stage where I had a few and got something called gold eye ointment from the pharmacy (in the UK) maybe there is something similar here?

Rub a gold wedding ring on it - old wives' tale - but it may work Blurgh so putting more bacteria onto it? I don't think that's a very good idea. Make sure it's sterile first.

It's basically a bactierial infection. Most usually go away on their own, but you can use a hot compress, keep the eyes clean and oil free. If it still irritates you might need some medication from the pharmacy or your doctor.
