If it is on the eyelid it may be a stye or a chalazion.

A stye or hordeolum is caused due to an infection in sebaceous glands located on the tip of the eyelashes. Stye may be internal or external. An external typical stye is located outside the lid in the form of a red lump and appears swollen. On the other hand, internal styes appear as a red lump under the lid accompanied with generalized redness and swelling visible on the outside.

A chalazion on the other hand is a cyst which is caused due to inflammation of a blocked sebaceous gland and seen usually on the upper eyelid.

Chalazion is larger and more painful compared to a stye and lasts for a longer duration of time and inevitably requires draining to resolve it.

Treatment For Stye Eye Infection

• Homeopathic medicine ‘Staphysigria mother-tincture’ consumed internally every two hourly in form of pills or liquid mixed in water will help to get relief from stye at the earliest.
• Don’t keep touching the lump, which will cause the infection to spread to other sebaceous glands.
• Also maintain utmost hygiene of the eye by regularly washing it with cold water and preferably using a different handkerchief for the eye.
• Consult your ophthalmologist, if you have any symptoms of blurring vision or excessive pressure on the eye. It may require an incision and draining.
