A member asked:
I have recurring styes. are they caused by staph bacteria? is this dangerous for there to be constant staph bacteria in a place as special as the eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Styles: Due to blocked oil glands in the lids, this is why the initial treatment is hot compresses 4-6 times a day. The area can resolve with this in time. Very rarely is a style due to infection.
