Is It Normal For A Stye To Bleed And Cause A Hole?

I had what was dx'd as a stye on my left upper eye lid. I was given antibiotic ointment and told to put hot compresses on it 4 times a day and the ointment. I have been doing so but yesterday I was just sitting here and it started to bleed and ooze pus. It feels as if there is an eyelash sticking in it. After I cleaned it up, naturally it scabbed up but I have a hole in my eyelid now and it still continues to bleed on occassion. Is this normal for a stye?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, such reaction is common in severe reaction.

The whole occurs in the eyelid is because of infection focus on the eye lid.

Once the bleeding has occurred and pus has came out this space remains vacant.

You can continue with the regimen provided by your doctor.

You can add ciprofloxacin eye drop under your doctors guidance. It will help prevent infection in eyelid whole.

Please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important in prevention of infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
