If they are at the same location, they should be incised and drained in the next outbreak.

Styes, or chalazia, or the eyelids usually are from obstructed oil glands that open near the margin of the eyelids. While sometimes bacteria play a role, they are not usually infected. Taking omega-3 supplements such as fish oil or flax seed oil capsules eventually lead to a thinner oil secretion which can help. Using warm compresses on the lids regularly can also prevent and treat chalazia.
