What is a Stye?

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of draining a stye inside your eyelid, let’s take a moment to understand what exactly this pesky little bump is. A stye (or hordeolum in fancy medical terms) is simply put – an inflammation caused by bacteria growth at the base of our eyelashes’ hair follicles.

Now that your doubts about being infected with some horrifying rare disease like mumps or monkeypox (sorry for using “m” word) are cleared up let us delve deeper into getting rid of these annoying lumps.

Symptoms

Styes generally cause pain, redness, swelling and tenderness around our eyelids. They occasionally grow in size leading to blurred vision.

Other symptoms include:

  • Crusted Lash
  • Watery Eyes
  • Sensitivity to Light
  • Difficulty Blinking

A common myth says that holding others’ gazes intently translates as confidence; however staring continuously could lead people implying `WTF wrong with this person’? which could lead one wondering if they had suddenly grown horns or having dinner served right out from their nostrils against all etiquette norms & soul searching among several other exhausting things in preparation for no fault there.
