Is an Eye Stye Cancerous?
Overview
A chalazion often looks and feels similar to a stye, causing symptoms like a swollen eyelid, pain, and irritation. A chalazion is a cystic swelling with chronic inflammation in the eyelid and is frequently mistaken for a stye due to their similar appearance.
In rare cases, a cancerous tumor on the eyelid can mimic the appearance of a stye or chalazion. It's crucial not to wear eye makeup or contact lenses until the area has healed. Granulomas, which are inflammatory growths on the eyelid, can also develop after a stye or chalazion.
Causes and Treatment
Staph blepharitis can lead to a red eye or even a stye. A stye, also known as a hordeolum, usually results from inflammation of an eyelash follicle due to staph bacteria.
If you frequently experience styes, see your eye doctor. Persistent or recurrent styes may require a low-dose antibiotic for long-term treatment. Consult an eye specialist if inflammation continues for more than two weeks, styes recur, or if the stye irritates the eye. Severe or recurring styes may require an antibiotic eye ointment prescribed by your specialist.
Prevention Tips
To prevent eye styes, avoid sharing makeup products, especially if you are prone to them. Refrain from using eye makeup while a stye is active. Although most styes and chalazia are not contagious, it's best to avoid sharing towels, washcloths, or handkerchiefs.
Your eye doctor may suggest replacing your contact lenses after healing to prevent infection recurrence. If not addressed, the infection can spread to the eyelid's oil glands and lead to more styes. Consult an optometrist when purchasing new contact lenses to ensure proper care and prevention.
