Brief Answer:
Please see detailed answer

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It occurs when an oil gland or hair follicle on the edge of the eyelid becomes infected or blocked, resulting in a small, painful lump.

Here are a few suggestions that may help alleviate the discomfort caused by a stye:

1. Maintain good hygiene: Clean your eyelid gently with mild soap and warm water. Avoid touching or rubbing the affected eye to prevent spreading the infection.

2. Apply warm compresses: Use a clean, warm compress on your closed eye for about 10 to 15 minutes, several times a day. The warmth can help promote drainage and relieve pain.

3. Avoid wearing makeup and contact lenses: To prevent further irritation or contamination, it's best to avoid wearing eye makeup and contact lenses until the stye has healed.

4. Don't squeeze or pop the stye: It's important not to attempt to squeeze or pop a stye as it may worsen the infection or cause it to spread.

I Hope Your Query is clear now.
Thank You
