eye weirdness...

I've had this small, weird sorta pimple/sty thing in the very corner of my right eye right below the tear duct for--I dunno--awhile. Once I noticed it was there, it began to itch and seem like it was getting bigger, even though it probably wasn't. Well, as time went on it itched even more. Of course I'd rub my eye to scratch it, which would make my eye water, which would in turn make me sneeze. Lately, the itch became almost maddening at times, and I intended to ask my doctor about it at my annual exam next month...

Anyway, I don't think it's an issue anymore. This morning when I was rubbing my eye like mad I felt what seemed like a fairly large and crunchy eye boogie on my finger. Looked in the mirror and there's now an expanded pore sized hole where the little bump used to be. Despite the fact that my eye is still annoyingly itchy, I'm hoping my weird eye affliction is now gone. My dad gets alot of those sty things in his eyelids which he has had to have lanced (!!) in the past...I'm also hoping that those are not another one of the genetic legacies he's blessed me with ....Eye afflictions gross me out bigtime!!!
