	Sty - MayoClinic.com
		A sty (hordeolum) is a red, painful lump on the edge or inside of your eyelid that may look like a boil or a pimple.
		As it swells in size, the sty may make it difficult for you to see clearly because you can't fully open your eye.
		More than one sty can occur at a time, leading to a generalized inflammation of your eyelid — a condition known as blepharitis.

	Sty (Stye) Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment by MedicineNet.com
		A sty (sometimes spelled stye) is a tender, painful red bump located at the base of an eyelash or on, inside, or under the eyelid.
		A sty is sometimes confused with a chalazion (see below), which is a cyst or a specific type of scarring (chronic inflammation) arising in the meibomian glands of the eyelid.
		In contrast to a sty, a chalazion is usually painless.

		A sty is a common infection of the eyelash follicle.
		Sties occur when foreign objects such as dirt (or, in older girls, makeup) get trapped in an eyelash follicle and cause an infection.
		Sties are not contagious, but bacteria from one sty can infect the follicle next to it, so it is important to discourage your child from rubbing the affected area.

	Goodbye Sty (Site not responding. Last check: )
		If you develop more than one sty at a time, you may develop a condition known as blepharitis. As a result, the edge of your eyelid can become severely inflamed. The good news is that most people usually get individual sties that rupture and disappear on their own.
		A sty, very much like a boil, is the result of a bacterial infection. When a bacterium finds its way into one of the follicles of your eyelash, it causes a lump to form and a build-up of pus to accumulate.
		Sometimes people develop what’s known as a chalazion—which looks very similar to a sty. A chalazion occurs when one of the glands in your eyelid becomes blocked. If this is the case, your doctor may want to refer you to an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) who can determine the best treatment.

		When a sty develops, a small area of the upper or lower eyelid or the corner of the eye becomes red, tender and swollen.
		A sty or chalazion begins as a tender red lump or bump within the eyelid at the base of the eyelash.
