About a year ago, I had a white bump on the edge of my upper eyelid, between some of my eyelashes. It looked like a pimple, but I couldn't pop it. I asked my dermatologist about it, and he told me what it was (I forgot what it's called), and said it would go away on its own after a while. Finally, about a month ago, I noticed that it's smaller than it used to be. But I also noticed that there was a sideways eyelash underneath it. Then about five days ago, that same area got sore, and swelled up a little, and turned red. I thought it was a stye, and since then, it actuaslly feels a lot better, but this morning I was able to squeeze some pus out of it, and I can still see the eyelash underneath the skin... Should I see my eye doctor for this? Are ingrown eyelashes common? Will it work itself out on its own?
Thanks!
