What is a stye and what should I do if I get one on my eyelid?

To pop or not to pop? Here's why it's important you don't burst a stye

A stye on the eyelid is a very common infection and most people will experience one at least once in their lifetime

If you use TikTok, chances are you’ve seen a woman documenting a stye that appeared on her eyelid in recent days.

Greta May, who lives in Australia, developed a stye that has evolved into a painful-looking puss-filled spot on her eyelid. She has been sharing her experience on TikTok as well as documenting the medical advice she receives. She has made many people aware of styes for the first time and TikTokers have a lot of questions.
