Step 1: At Home Treatment
- A majority of styes can be treated at home. Among the recommendations:
- Apply warm, wet compresses several times a day to the affected area
- Apply an over-the-counter ointment or solution on the stye
- Keep the area clean by washing with a mild soap
- Do not:
- Wear eye makeup while you have a stye
- Wear contact lenses while you have a stye
- Attempt to squeeze the stye; this could lead to further complications

Step 2: When to See a Doctor
- If your stye has not drained and healed within one week, you should make an appointment to see an eye doctor. Often, the doctor will prescribe an antibiotic ointment or cream that will promote healing. In some cases, the doctor will need to lance the stye to help it drain.
