Stye treatment in Guadalajara

A stye is a small inflamed bump that appears on the edge of the eyelid, generally due to inflammation of one of its glands. It is usually bothersome, although in many cases it is a passing and common condition.

Frequent symptoms: a reddish, tender bump on the eyelid, swelling, a foreign-body sensation, and, at times, tearing.

When to seek care? If the stye does not improve, recurs frequently, or the inflammation spreads, it is advisable to have it checked.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the professional to evaluate this problem, and the general practitioner can provide guidance at a first visit. When the symptoms persist or worry you, the best thing is to consult a specialist rather than manipulating the area.
