Hello and welcome to "Ask A Doctor"

thanks for your question

does it pain? if it doesn’t then it’s not a stye it’s a chalazion dear and you will need to see an ophthalmologist if it doesn’t go away . a chalazion is a painless swelling and is due to collection of secretion from gland . you can use some hot fomentation for the same along with topical antibiotic and painkiller if it pains . hope it helps
