They can absolutely be contagious and often times are, especially with younger children. I don’t think it’s coincidental that all three of my children are currently experiencing different stages of styes (beginning, middle and almost fully healed). No other illness, allergies, changes in diet, soap, shampoo, detergent etc… It’s a bacterial infection (as she states) which means it can easily be spread through contact. Touching the infected area and then touching a surface that someone else may come into contact with. Warm compresses will help to alleviate any discomfort of the infected area such as itching, burning and tenderness, but that is all. Antibiotics in the form of an ointment or pill are often needed to treat the infection. This video is honestly frightening to me, The common sense is out the window! Please do your own research before you take the word of any doctor because this is where we are!

Thanks a million for this!!! I haven't had a stye since childhood. Even then, I don't remember having them often. Now I'm 68, and guess what?. I've hit the jackpot with either a stye, or a badly inflamed eyelid. In either case, having watched your videos on both, I'm relieved that it's not something as scary as it looks. However, in my case, I can assure you it's been caused by very dry eyes, because I hardly use any make up. And I've had constantly twitching eyes during the last couple of weeks. Thanks again! 💙

Hi Dr. Rupa Wong ! You mentioned that you have seen that children can sometimes get styes from foods. Is there a specific test that could help determine this? I suffer from really bad styes that typically require both oral and topical medicine. They take me our for a week most of the time. I stay on top of my eye hygiene and dont get lash extensions but keep having this issue. Im wondering if maybe it could be food related! Anyhow, if you know if any tests i could get done please let me know. Thanks for your videos! Cheers, Valerie

I got a stye on my left eye, it went away by itself after 5-6 days. Right after I got one in my right eye now this is the 8th day and it’s still there, also this one is external and you can see the big white puss building. Can I pop it?

@MarbledPaladin
@MarbledPaladin 2 года назад
No, if it is on the white on the eye it is not a stye... It could be a pinguecula, a pterygium or tumors (benign or cancerous) or possibly other things as well so definitely have it checked by a professional to identify what it is and if it is dangerous...
@DrRupaWong
@DrRupaWong 2 года назад
As @MarbledPaladin commented below - a bump on the white of the eye isn't a stye. There are many types of cysts or masses it can be, benign or neoplastic as well. Check with your ophthalmologist!
