How Can I Treat a Stye?
There are some self care and medical options for treating a stye, an infection of the sebaceous glands along the eyelid which is also known as a hordeolum. Many sties resolve on their own, and self care is often sufficient to treat a stye, with the condition typically clearing up within a week or so. For more stubborn sties, a visit to the doctor’s office for additional treatment options may be necessary.
