A sty is a little bump you get ON either eye on bottom eye lid or bottom. You know that it is a sty when you see a bump and it itches.
- When you have a sty put a hot towel
- lay it on your eye keep it warm
- keep doing this for about 3 days
- the sty will probably pop and you wont know it
- it doesn't hurt when it pops it just had pus coming out and you wont even know trust me!

∙ 14y agoA sty, medically termed Hordeolum, is caused by a plugged oil gland in the eyelid. If it's on the outer surface of the eyelid, it's a plugged meibomian gland. If it's deeper inside the eyelid, it's likely a plugged moll or zeiss oil gland. These tend to go away on their own, but you can use a warm washcloth to encourage the plugged gland to unclog.

Yes it is the result of an infection at the base of an eyelash follicle. But it is hard.
