What is a stye? 

• A stye is an infected lump that appears like a
  pimple at the corner or edge of your eyelid. This
  can be painful, but it is rarely a serious
  problem.

What is the cause of stye? 

• Styes are caused by bacteria that infect one of
  the small oil glands surrounding your eyelashes.
  You may be more likely to get a stye if you
  have
• A skin problem such as acne or dandruff
• A long term health problem such as diabetes or
  high cholesterol
• An eye disorder like blepharitis, which is
  redness and swelling of the corners of your
  eyelidsA stye looks same as that to a chalazion
  that is a painless lump identified in the eyelid
  caused by a blocked oil gland.

How is stye diagnosed? 

• Your doctor would like to know about your
  symptoms and activities for the further
  examination of your eyes.

How can someone take care of himself suffering
from stye? 

• You may need to follow a cleansing routine for
  several weeks or months
• A washcloth with warm water should be moistened
  and hold it over both eyes for several minutes.
  The water and steam will help to soften any
  buildup of dirt or skin cells on your eyelids. A
  gentle massage can be done on your eyelids with
  the washcloth to extract the buildup.
• Few drops of baby shampoo should be added to a
  cup of water and a cotton swab should be
  moistened with this mixture. Using the swab,
  clean all the buildup from the edges of your
  eyelids and eyelashes. Use a new swab for each
  eye. Do not let the swab touch your eyeball.

What are the symptoms of stye?

  the area of the stye. It may also be painful,
  usually when you blink or touch the stye.
  Problems are not caused by stye unless it gets
  swollen.

How is stye treated? 

• Your doctor may want you to clean your eyelids
  regularly using a warm wet washcloth. Follow your
  provider's instructions carefully.Most of the
  times a stye need to be opened and drained by
  your doctor for quick healing. Never attempt to
  open the stye yourself. Serious infections could
  spread into areas behind and around your eye.If
  you are having several styes, or if styes come
  back, your doctor may want you to clean your
  eyelids on a regular basis. Your doctor can also
  advise some antibiotic drops or ointment.
  Generally a stye clears up around in a week.
