Stye

The main symptom of a stye is a small, painful lump on your eyelid.

Styes usually go away on their own. You can ease symptoms by putting a warm flannel on the affected eye and using painkillers.

A GP can treat a stye by bursting it or removing the eyelash closest to it. You may be referred to an eye specialist.

You can help avoid styes by keeping your eyes clean.
