Question:
Are styes contagious? And what can I do about them?
Answer:
Styes aren't contagious, and most of the time you can treat them at home. Styes are very common. It's kind of like a pimple on the eyelid. They will usually go away in a few days if you apply a clean, warm compress to your closed eyelid for 10 to 15 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day.
