5. You Can Massage the Area to Promote Drainage

The Hut

Because styes are usually filled with pus which needs to be released to get better, another way to help promote quicker healing is by massaging the affected area to promote drainage. Normally, this is done after having placed either a warm compress, a warm teabag or even the coconut oil around the area so that the pus is softened first. Before you massage the eyelid, be sure that your hands have been thoroughly washed and are clean. Apply light pressure to area, allowing the pus to flow without too much strength. If nothing comes out, don’t force it, and stop massaging if it hurts. If there is some drainage, be sure to wipe it away and clean the area once more to remove any excess pus.
