Not really sure what causes pr what to do to keep from reoccurs as these are from an infection, so I looked it up on WebMd for you!

A sty is an acute infection or inflammation of the secretory glands of the eyelids. This common infection or inflammation results...
What Are the Treatments?
While painful and unsightly, most stys heal within a few days on their own or with simple treatment. Chalazia, too, often disappear on their own, but it might take a month or more.

Typical treatment for a sty consists of applying warm compresses to the affected eye for 10 to 15 minutes four times daily for several days. This not only relieves pain and inflammation but also helps the sty ripen faster. Be sure to close your eye while you apply the compresses. When the sty comes to a head, continue applying warm compresses to relieve pressure and promote rupture. Do not squeeze the sty. Let it burst on its own.

If stys recur, your doctor may prescribe an oral antibiotic. Take the antibiotic as directed.

Minor surgery may be needed to completely drain a sty. After applying a local anesthetic, your ophthalmologist opens the sty and removes the contents. The eyelid usually heals quickly.

Although a chalazion will often disappear on its own, applying warm compresses may accelerate the healing process. Selected patients may benefit from a direct injection of anti-inflammatory medication to the area. The chalazion can also be removed through simple surgery under a local anesthetic. Your surgeon will usually apply an eyelid bandage for 24 hours.

This explains alot because I do have Lupus...So alot of things become inflamed at times, but I really didnt know what it was I was scared lol. Thanks!

What are Fairy*Godmothers for?????????? Always here to help if I can!

I've gotten these before. Fairy*Godmother pretty much hit the nail on the head, with what it is, and how its treated. However, to add, your doctor may also prescribe anti-biotic eyedrops in addition to the other treatments above.

Just wondering tloves, do you usually eat healthy and get the vitamins and minerals you need? Reason I ask is because one of the main causes of styes is vitamin deficiency.

i am soo sorry it took me sooo long to respond to your question, i am very bad at taking my proper medication and vitamins, i am 27 years old now and been living with lupus for about 5 years now, so i should be on my "a" game but i have been slacking, now that i have finally completed college and the stress factor is lower i am trying to take better care of myself, but now that i know that, i will be more on top of my game cause i dont like the way they look at all. thanks!
