A member asked:
Is stye contagious? if so, what should i apply? also i have contact on , should i remove them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Styles are not contagious. If the diagnosis is correct, you should have no pain. A stye is essentially a clogged oil gland. You can apply warm compresses in an attempt to loosen the blockage. If it does not resolve, see an eye doc for medical treatment.
