Stye

Hello folks. I'm dealing with lately are styes. My doctor says they form when the oil glands clog, then get infected.
They're painful,and mine are chronic. Any help out there? Thanks. Dick

  1. styles can be very painful. I have had them on occasion. I used a warm moist compress and it went away on its on. My doctor recommended tea tree oil wipes for chronic dry eye. I haven’t had any styes since using them. This is a good article on styes https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sty/symptoms-causes/syc-20378017
