      A sebaceous cyst occurs when a hair follicle becomes swollen. When this happens on your eyelid, most often at the base of an eyelash, it is called a stye. 


      Antibiotic drops/cream. These are available over-the-counter. However, consult your doctor before using this type of treatment.

        You can try warm moist compresses to bring it to a "head" and to let it drain naturally....don't try to "pop" it....that's the worse thing you can do....opens yourself up to infection...(:
