The condition known as stye is?

A stye is a common eye infection that occurs when a gland in the eyelid becomes blocked and infected with bacteria. It typically appears as a small, red, and painful bump on the edge of the eyelid. Styes can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor hygiene, contact with infected individuals or objects, and certain skin conditions. Treatment typically involves warm compresses and antibiotic ointment. In severe cases, a doctor may need to drain the stye or prescribe oral antibiotics.
