Sty/stye: This is due to clogged meibomian glands at base of eyelash. Recurrence might be due to scarred glands. Use diluted tea tree oil (natural way) of cleaning eyelashes with eyes closed. See eyedoc2020@blogspot.com for more info. See eyeMD if continues to recur for Intraductal gland probing or incision & drainage if natural remedies/antibiotic creams do not help.
