You can get a stye from stress as stress can play a role in a stye developing as stress affects the immune system and can make you more susceptible to styes.
An eye stye often lasts from 7 days to 14 days and they often go away on their own without treatment.
Some eye styes may heal and drain within a couple of days, but other eye styes can take 2 weeks to fully disappear.
You can help speed up the process of the eye stye healing by applying warm compresses to the eye styes several times a day for 10 to 15 minutes.
The 2 symptoms of a stye are pain or tenderness in the affected area of the eye and eyelid swelling.
Other common symptoms of a stye are eye discharge, a feeling of something being in the eye, and a red, painful lump on or inside the eyelid.
The red lump on your eyelid when you have a stye will be similar to a boil or pimple.
A stye is also known as hordeolum and is basically just a non harmful and non cancerous bump on the eyelid that often resembles a pimple and is caused by a bacterial infection of the oil glands or hair follicles.
A stye often develops over a couple of days and is often caused by Staphylococcus bacteria.
A stye appears as a red, swollen and tender bump on your eyelid and often with a small yellowish spot in the center.
A stye can also occur on the outer or inner eyelid, near the eyelashes or deeper within the eyelid.
Other symptoms of a stye are redness and swelling, pain and tenderness in the eyelid, pus filled lump or pimple like appearance, possible crusting of the eyelid margins, tearing, burning sensation or a feeling of something in the eye and in some cases blurred vision or light sensitivity.
Styes are often caused by Staphylococcus bacteria, which are common on the skin and the bacteria can enter and infect the oil glands or hair follicles of the eyelid.
And other factors like old makeup, poor hygiene or certain skin conditions can also increase the risk of developing a stye.
Stress can also play a role in a stye developing as stress affects the immune system and can make you more susceptible.
Most styes heal on their own within a week or two with home treatment.
You can use warm compresses applied to the stye for 5 to 10 minutes several times a day, which can help to relieve pain and promote drainage.
You should avoid touching or squeezing the stye as it can spread the infection and make the stye worse.
You can also use some over the counter antibiotic ointments to help the stye heal as well.
But if the stye does not get better or go away at home or if the infection happens to spread you should see a doctor.
