A sty is an acute infection or inflammation of the secretory glands of the eyelids. A sty also may arise from an infected hair follicle at the base of an eyelash. It is sometimes referred to as a pigpen or “pig parlor.” Pigsties are generally fenced areas of bare dirt and/or mud.
It is caused by bacteria that normally live peacefully on the eyelid skin surface. It is a red, painful lump on the edge or inside of your eyelid that may look like a boil or a pimple.
One of the most common reasons that Staphysagria is used is the ailments from suppressing anger. Anger is not well tolerated in the modern world. Initially, the anger may be suppressed, so much so that the person actually feels as if they are not an angry person.at all. This is all too common in children.
A sty usually starts as a sensitive, red, swollen area on the edge of the eyelid at the base of an eyelash. An internal hordeolum has the same symptoms as a stye, but it grows deeper inside the eyelid.A chalazion grows more slowly, deeper inside the eyelid than a stye. Though it usually does not cause pain, a chalazion may last for several months. It may form a firm lump under the skin of the eyelid, and the inflammation and swelling may spread to the area surrounding the eye.
Here it is in three simple steps
- Place a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda into a cup and add a small of amount boiling water. Stir thoroughly.
- Take a clean flannel and allow to soak up some of the liquid. As hot as you can stand it place the flannel on the stye.
- Repeat this process 5 or 6 times.
The hot compress will definitely help the infection. Apply as much warmth as you can bear and then get down to some warm loving with a soft and clean piece of cloth. Do this as often as you can throughout the day.
Tenderness, pain, and redness are the first signs of a stye manifesting. Itching, swelling, watering of the eye, sensitivity to light, and discomfort while blinking will soon follow, and then a yellowish bump will become visible in most prominent cases. It can occur to any area on the eye.
In some cases rosacea can cause irritation to the eyes. Symptoms can include stinging or itchy eyes or eye lid problems such as cysts and styes.
