Potato to cure a sty, sties

To reduce the swelling associated with sties take fresh scrapings from the inside of a potato. Put them on a piece of clean cloth and place on the sty. Replace once or twice with fresh scrapings. Within a couple of hours, the swelling will significantly reduce.

Good Comments By: N on 2005-02-25 Works very well, doesn't remove the sty completely but reduces swelling and pain   This truly does work! Comments By: Anon on 2005-02-28 When i noticed a sty growing beneath my armpit, my grandmother told me to place a potato slice underneath there and just let it sit for a couple hours and the sty would be gone. me being me i thought that this was jusrt another one of her nonsense southern remedies. but come to find out it actually does work and i reccommend it for everyone. it is very cheap and time efficent and works on any area of the body.   BAD Comments By: no comment on 2006-06-26 it was bad it did not work out for me the gold ring did not either hopfully it will work out for you   potato Comments By: MISTY on 2011-02-25 IT WORK IT WORK HAHAHA IT REALLY DO MY STY IS GONE YAY!:))
