Eye Sty Treatment Tips
by Juliet Cohen
An eye sty is a common infection of the hair follicle of an eyelash.
Generally, an eye stye starts with a small pimple. Within the next few
days, it gets filled with pus and consequently bursts and heals on its
own with the draining of infection.
An eye sty is believed to be caused by some debility in the system.
It can even be caused due to blockage of glands by dirt or refraction
error. A sty in the eye is usually a harmless development and can be
treated at home. Styes may be treated by making a decoction (prepared
from the roots, seeds, stems and other parts of the plants that are
boiled in water) of eyebright and chamomile, to help reduce the
inflammation.
Sometimes, the infection disappears quickly, without forming into a
red swelling. But other styes worsen rapidly until the eyelid swells
up. Eye stye occurs when staphylococcal bacteria infect one of the tiny
glands at the base of the eyelid hairs and then becomes inflamed. It is
commonly found as small bumps on the base of eyelids.
Stye is often accompanied with certain complications, such as there
may be spread of infection to other eyelash follicles. There may also
be spread of infection to the tissue of the eyelid, which is known as
Eyelid cellulites. The symptoms of styes may resemble other conditions
or medical problems.
