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.

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.
