Many do: Application of heat in the form of warm compresses several times daily will often result in enough increased blood flow that the body heals itself. The site may come to a head & drain during the process. Soft cleaning of the area with a q-tip & thin soap solution can prevent recurrence.If persistent after your efforts, see the doc.

Not styes: These may not be styes but chalazia. See an ophthalmologist for treatment.
