How can I treat recurring styes on my eyelids?

The underlying problem is the oils made in the glands of your eyelid. You are (for unknown reasons) producing oils that are plugging up your glands. The infection is secondary.

It's happening because the gland is not able to discharge its contents. The medical term for this is "chronic marginal blepharitis". Therapy involves two steps:Lid hygieneUse hot, moist compresses (clean towels) at least twice a day.

(This is most important at bedtime.) This process warms the oils and makes them flow more easily. And the pressure of the compress forces the oils out of the lid glands. Do this for two minutes.

Then, using "no tears" baby shampoo, wash the lids thoroughly. Change the nature of the oils Add omega-3 to your diet, through either fish or flaxseed oils. If you have a big event coming up, your doctor can prescribe doxycycline.

This will temporarily change the viscosity of the oils. Using steroid/antibiotic eye drops is also a temporary fix.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
