Bacterial Infection: Understand how bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, can contaminate the oil glands of the eyelids, causing stye formation.
Poor Hygiene: Focus on the importance of good hygiene practices, such as regularly cleaning hands and getting rid of makeup before bedtime, to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination.
Other Factors: Consider additional risk factors, including stress, hormonal changes, and underlying health conditions like blepharitis or rosacea, that may put at risk of individuals to styes.
Treatment Options:

Warm Compresses: Suggest applying warm compresses to the affected eyelid several times a day to help relieve swelling, boost blood circulation, and enhance drainage of the stye.
Eyelid Hygiene: Support gentle eyelid hygiene using mild soap or baby shampoo to wash the eyelid margins and get rid of debris or crusted discharge.
Avoidance of Irritants: Recommend wearing contact lenses or eye makeup until the stye has resolved to prevent further irritation and potential exacerbation of symptoms.
Medical Intervention: Consider the potential need for medical intervention, such as prescription antibiotic ointments or oral antibiotics, in cases of persistent or severe styes that do not respond to home remedies.
