Why does my eye stye keep coming back? it goes way for a month then it's back!

See Ophthalmologist: There are several possibilities. It may never have gone away, it could be coming back due to an underlying infection on the eyelid margin or perhaps it is not a stye at all but something else. You should see an ophthalmologist.

See eye doctor: Use a hot wet towel compress for 10 minutes twice a day. See eye doc to see if needs to be drained. Rarely, can be skin cancer.

Stye treatment: Warm compresses and ocusoft plus lid scrubs, artificial tears, and possible antibiotic/steroid eye medication. If no improvement, intralesional steroid injection and/or excision and drainage.
