A member asked:
Hi doctors, was just wondering what is a internal hordeolum and a stye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Similar: Both of these are styes. Hordeolum is the $64 dollar word for a stye. If it is in the substance of the lid, it is internal . If it is on the edge of the lid, it is external. They are both the same process in a different location.
