So why do styes occur in the first place and what are they?
Stye is the common term for what we in the medical field call a hordeolum. A stye is a painful red bump on your eyelid edge. Similar to an acne pimple, a stye forms when a tiny oil gland near the eyelashes becomes blocked and gets infected. Styes are bacterial infections that cause the gland to swell. Styes can be painful. The medical term for a stye is a hordeolum. Styes are very common and in many cases, you can manage a stye at home. However, some cases may require treatment by an eye care provider.
It’s common to have a stye on only one eyelid, but it is also possible to get styes on both lids.
