A stye, also known as a hordeolum, is described as a small red bump or inflammation that appears in or around the eyelid. Styes are often caused by a bacterial infection at the base of an eyelash or on the inside of the eyelid. Similar to a pimple, styes are the result of glands in your eyelids becoming clogged with bacteria, dead skin cells, or other debris. Very rarely do styes effect both eyes simultaneously, although it is possible. Styes tend to cause discomfort and are tender to the touch. A stye is more likely to occur if you suffer from blepharitis, a condition that causes the base of the eyelashes to become red and swollen. What are Stye Symptoms? Some signs that you may be experiencing a stye include: Red, swollen bump on lid(s) Discharge of puss from the stye Crusting along the edge of the lid Swollen eye lids Tenderness Itching or burning around the eye Excessive watering of the eyes Sensitivity to touch and general discomfort Are Styes Contagious? A stye can be contagious, however, the spreading of a stye from one person to another is very rare. The bacteria responsible for causing a stye is carried on our skin and is generally not harmful. Styes are the result of that bacteria clogging the oil glands on the eyelid, causing irritation. When this bacterium gets trapped along the edge of the eyelid, it often results in a small, red bump. Be sure to avoid spreading the bacteria by washing your hands frequently. Additionally, do not touch the stye or the area surrounding the infected eye if possible. Should I See my Doctor? Although styes can be unsightly and cause discomfort, they are generally not cause for serious concern. If left untreated, most styes will improve within a week or so. People often seek treatment to reduce symptoms, allowing them to live more comfortably until symptoms have subsided. If you experience severe eye pain, change in vision, continued redness, or irritation of the eye, we recommend you contact your doctor or physician immediately to rule out any serious causes or conditions. How to Prevent a Stye There are several precautions that can be taken to help prevent styes. Most importantly, avoid touching your eyes whenever possible. If you do need to touch your eye, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before doing so, as this is one of the easiest ways to cause an eye infection. Additionally, be sure to take proper care of any products you use in or around your eyes. This includes making sure your cosmetics are not expired and being used only by you. Finally, if you wear contacts or glasses be sure to properly clean and maintain them. Home Remedies for Styes There are several at home remedies in addition to using Stye Relief® Ointment that can help speed up the healing process. Some of these remedies include: Using a warm compress on the stye for 10-15 minutes several times per day can help to open up the inflamed glands, allowing the puss or oil to drain more easily from the stye. Wash the infected eye with mild soap and water. This will help to keep the infected area clean while it is healing. We recommend putting Stye Relief® ointment on the lid after you have cleaned it for optimal results. Similar to a warm compress, you can also use a warm tea bag on the lid to help alleviate some of these symptoms. Black tea is most recommended, as it is effective in relieving swelling, as well as containing antibacterial properties. If the stye is incredibly painful you may want to take some Ibuprofen or Tylenol to help alleviate some of the pain and discomfort. Ibuprofen specifically can help with the inflammation you may be experiencing. Avoid using cosmetics or contact lenses if possible. These items may irritate your eye and could potentially delay the healing process. You also want to avoid spreading any bacteria from the stye to these items, as this may result in another stye. *Based on IRI data ending on March 21, 2021 Contact US Phone: 888-969-6855 Email: info@thereliefproducts.com TRP's Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions Accessibility Twitter Facebook Instagram Pinterest LinkedIn YouTube Channel Select Language English Español Supported payment methods * FDA Disclaimer: Claims based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence.
