Also known as: hordeolum.
When a person develops a painful red lump near the edge of the eyelid, this is often a stye. These often develop at the base of an eyelash, though they can also occur inside the eyelid.
Bacteria are the typical cause of styes. These can infect a hair follicle or the inside of the eyelid and lead to styes.
Pain, redness, swelling and sore or scratchy eyes are the common symptoms of styes.
Most minor styes can be treated by pressing a warm, wet washcloth against the stye for 10 to 15 minutes a few times a day. More severe styes will require antibiotics or surgery for treatment.
