Understanding Stye
An infected oil gland or lash follicle produces a stye: a small, sore, red lump on the lid margin.
Signs of Stye to Look for
- A tender red bump on the eyelid
- Watering eye
- A small yellow spot as it comes to a head
- Swelling of the lid
- A gritty feeling
Common Triggers
Bacteria block a gland in the eyelid, often after touching the eyes with unwashed hands or using old make-up or contact lenses.
