Hordeolum: Hordeolum, or "styes" are very common. It is an infection from normal skin bacteria, but antibiotics are not helpful. Warm compresses with a damp towel to the area for 15 minutes 4 - 6 times daily are the best form of treatment. It can take from days up to 2 weeks to regress completely, and they can be become pink and tender. It's not normal to persist beyond 2 weeks.
