For : For styes, also known as chalazions, you may try warm compresses. I advise my patients to heat a small dinner potato in the microwave and then wrap it with a wet, warm wash cloth. Warm compresses three times daily will help the chalazion resorb. If after a few weeks or a month, the chalazion persists, you should have an eye exam to make sure the lesion is a stye and not something else. Your ophthalmologist (eye physician & surgeon) will be able to discuss surgical removal with you if needed. Good luck and i hope this helps.
