Styes are bacterial infections that lead to the obstruction of oil producing glands around the eyelashes or eyelids. Styes are seen as small bumps on the eyelids.
Styes are usually harmless and will go away after several days on their own as your body fights the infection.
There are some cases where surgical draining of the stye or the application of antibiotic drops may be required. Preventive measures for styes include always washing hands before touching the eyes and keeping good eye hygiene, especially for contact users.

Clean is several times a day with a warm cloth (compress). This will make the stye come to the surface. Do not touch it with your fingers. It should go away by itself. If not, drug stores or Walmart carry drops for styes - I think located near eye and ear drops.

There are many over the counter treatments for styes. Go to your local pharmacy and check with the pharmacist for recomendations.

Lots of warm compresses (warm steamy wash clothes) during the day.
Be sure to change them.
Refresh with Colirium eye wash.

Hot compresses, take a plus iron vitamin. Used to have them a lot until my doc told me to take the vitamins, haven't had one in years. Good luck.
