Hello
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent stye of the eyelid. Stye is because of inflammation of gland of zeis and gland of moll of eyelids.
The causes for recurrent stye are
Ocular conditions like blepharitis, eye strain because of untreated refractive error...
Systemic conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, decreased immunity...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
