Eye Cleaning
You may clean the area around your eye to get rid of the bacteria causing stye. Avoid synthetic and harsh chemicals as they may irritate the skin around your eye, which is typically much thinner than other parts of the face. Make sure to purchase nonirritating and hypoallergenic products. Do research or ask your doctor for eye cleaning options with effective formulas on various strains of bacteria. A saline solution is effective in promoting drainage and breaking down bacteria membranes. Another simple option is to mix warm water with baby shampoo and then wipe off the eyelids with a swab or cloth. Clean your eye on a daily basis until the style disappears. This can also help prevent it from recurring in the future. [5]
Steroids
Steroids, also known as corticosteroids, are the man-made version of hormones, which can be produced naturally by the body. The medications can help reduce inflammation and speed up the healing from eye stye. If you feel pain and discomfort, a doctor would suggest a steroid injection into your stye to ease the pain and promote healing. You can also find steroids in the form of eye drops or topical creams. However, do not purchase and apply these products without talking to your healthcare provider first. [6]
