Stye

What is Stye?

A stye forms near the edge of the eyelid on the outer or inner side as a red, painful pimple-like bump that usually contains pus. The stye is caused by the infection of staphylococcus aureus bacteria, which infects the sebaceous glands of the eyelid. Eye makeup, skin conditions such as rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis contribute to its development.


What is Stye

Transmission

Styes are transmitted through direct contact with infected materials like hands, towels, or makeup applicators. Avoid touching the eyes with unwashed hands, sharing personal items, and using contaminated makeup to prevent transmission.
