Continuing Staph Infection

Quite a few weeks ago my lower eyelid was puffy and sore, feeling a bit like it was bruised.  Now it feels fine, except a bit of itching now and then and my eyelashes near the area are turned toward my eye probably because of the slight bulge where the infection is.  There is a ball type feel to it on the outside and the inside of the eyelid has a light shape to it, like a healing sore.  Recently I had an eye doctor visit and was told it was a staph infection.  I was instructed to apply a hot compress and massage it, putting a drop of Vigamox two times a day for 7 days.  It has not seemed to change other than less dryness at night and throughout the day.  Any suggestions?

I wish I could help with your question...I'm guessing it had to do with the knuckle joint issue that came up when I clicked on your name.  Could this site be of help? http://healthclover.com/dislocated-knuckle/
