Stye Problem
Hello,
I've been having a problem with my eyelids. As, I researched online, I found that the problem is called a Stye. They occur anywhere on any one of my eyelids. They start with a little bit of pain and slowly grow in size due to swelling and get very uncomfortable. It starts secreting pus and drains and naturally fixes itself. This all happens within a week and a few days.
However, I'm getting this problem in every 2-3 months. Yesterday I found out that 2 styes developed, one on my upper eyelid and on on the bottom one.
Please let me know how I can take care of it and prevent it from happening again. I've been doing Compression with any warm moist cloth as suggested online. But I can not find any plausible reason for the frequent occurrence of this problem.
Thank you for your time and patience.
