A stye <\/strong>is a common eye condition that results in a red, swollen lump on the edge of the eyelid. Styes are common eye conditions that affect millions of people. While a stye may not be a life-threatening condition, it is irritating, embarrassing, and occasionally painful. More often than not, you can use home remedies to get rid of styes<\/strong>, and this article aims to cover five remedies that experts recommend.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Causes A Stye? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A stye is a bacterial infection that results in a swollen bump near the eyelashes on the eyelid. The reddish bump can look like a pimple and results from an oil gland infection in the eyelid. Researchers claim that the staphylococcus bacterium is typically responsible for the infection. Dead skin, dirt, or oil build-up can clog the oil glands around the eye and cause bacterial build-up. That\u2019s why eye makeup, frequent eye touching, rosacea, or expired cosmetics can increase the risk of stye development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In most cases, styes can be treated at home and they often go away within 7-10 days. To accelerate recovery, use the following home remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use A Warm Tea Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s helpful to use a warm cloth compress to provide relief, but it may be more beneficial to use a tea bag. Use a black tea bag because it contains antibacterial properties, and it may help reduce swelling. Add a black tea bag to a cup of boiling water and let it steep for one minute. Remove the tea bag from the water and allow it to cool for a couple minutes. Apply it to the affected eye and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. If you have a stye on each eye, use a separate tea bag for each eye. Do this twice daily to accelerate recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid Eye Makeup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a natural instinct to want to cover the stye with makeup, especially if you go out in public, but do your best to avoid makeup. Not only does makeup delay the healing process, but it can also irritate the stye and make it worse. It\u2019s possible that more bacteria can spread into the area by applying more makeup. Make sure to clean your eye with water at least five to six times per day. This will offer a cooling effect and it may reduce the severity of the infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
