How to treat a Stye?

What to do if you have a stye ?

In the case of a stye, you need to clean the affected area, for example with impregnated wipes for eyelid hygiene (BLEPHACLEAN® CE marking). Application of clean and hot wipes will facilitate the evacuation of the pus and relieve pain.
In the case of an external stye, when it pierces usually after a week, the pus and scabs that form must be removed with these products which have been evaluated by ophthalmologists (BLEPHACLEAN® CE marking.
If after a week, the stye is still the same and the pus is still present despite using compresses, do not attempt to burst it yourself as you risk a more serious infection. Consult your doctor, who will prescribe the correct treatment.
In the case of an internal stye, it is best to consult with your doctor immediately.
If you get styes repeatedly, you should also consult your doctor for a check up and make sure you do have not have a disease promoting infection. Daily hygiene of the eyelids using suitable products will limit the risk of recurrence: warm compresses applied for 5 minutes on a closed eye followed by eyelid massage.
