What Is a Stye?<\/h2>\n

A stye, also called a hordeolum, happens when an oil gland or hair follicle on your eyelid gets infected. It usually appears as a red, swollen bump. You may notice it near your eyelashes, and it might fill with pus as it develops.<\/p>\n

Styes are common and not serious, but they can be annoying and painful. Most heal without medical help, but natural remedies can offer quick relief.<\/p>\n
