Hello
Stye is inflammatory lesion involving the glands of the eyelids. It wil be present along the margin of the eye lid pointing towards skin of the eyelids with involvement of the eye lash follicle.
The treatment is by using hot compression, oral antiinflammatory drugs and topical antibiotic eye drops.
Thank you
