What Causes Styes And What Is The Treatment?

Hello, I have been suffering with "Styes" for years and years. I wash my hands and face all the time. Why am I so prone to getting them ALL the time? I also have one at this moment. I have been putting HOT compresses on it several times a day today and I'm still in such pain...any advice?

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Repeated washing of the eyelids help in recurrences.
Hot fomentation will suppress the current styes.
The moment styes start developing, immediately one should get antibiotic relevant for the styes. it will be curbed.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
