Who Is at Risk of Stye or Chalazia?
Both chalazia and styes are very common. Nearly everyone may develop one or even both conditions in their lives. Nevertheless, some individuals may be at a higher risk of developing them. For instance, an inflammation of the eyelids caused by blepharitis may make you more prone to both conditions. Other common risk factors include:
– A history of chalazia or styes
– Using contaminated or old cosmetics
– Failing to remove eye makeups completely
– Diabetes and other systemic disorders
– Some skin problems, such as acnea rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis [6]
