How to Get Rid of Styes

A stye is a small bump that sometimes appear as a painful lump on the outside or inside of the eyelid. A stye is also known as a hordeolum. It is an infection that can lead to blocked glands within the eyelid. When the gland is blocked, bacteria can infect the blocked gland, causing increased inflammation, pain, and redness of the eye, and even redness of the surrounding eyelid and cheek tissue, but they generally do not cause any damage to the eye or eyelids. The lump frequently goes away when the blockage of the gland opening is relieved. Furthermore, the infection goes away when the pus is drained from the sty.
