  Its a small, painful lump that can pop up inside or outside your eyelid. It may look like a pimple at the base of your eyelashes. Styes under the eyelid may be less noticeable at first. But both can make your eyelid red, swollen, and tender to the touch. Your eye might feel scratchy and sore, too. […] The problem is bacteria. It infects an oil gland inside the eyelid or the hair follicle of an eyelash. Those germs can come from anything that touches or rubs your eyes, like your hands or eye makeup. You may tend to get more styes during allergy season when eyes get itchy. Youre also more likely to get them if you have blepharitis, a type of inflammation around the edges of your eyelids. […] It can be hard to tell, but there are differences. In general, a stye is infected and a chalazion is not. Infection can cause a small pus spot at the tip of a stye (shown here) that looks like a pimple. It can make your eye painful, crusty, scratchy, watery, and more sensitive to light. It may even make your whole eyelid swell. A chalazion usually doesnt hurt and may make the eyelid swell early on. But you may not even notice it at first. If theres no longer an infection, or the oil glands get clogged without being infected, its called a chalazion.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459349/

  A stye, or hordeolum, is an acute, painful ocular infection involving the sebaceous glands of the upper or lower eyelid. This lesion presents as a localized, pustular swelling with erythema and tenderness along the eyelid margin. While generally self-limiting and benign, hordeola can result in considerable discomfort and functional impairment. […] Diagnosis is primarily clinical, based on the characteristic appearance of the eyelid. Treatment typically involves warm compresses, proper eyelid hygiene, and, in persistent cases, antibiotic ointments or oral antibiotics. Rarely, surgical drainage may be necessary. The prognosis is generally favorable, with most cases resolving within a week to 10 days without complications. […] Hordeola arise from an acute bacterial infection of the sebaceous glands of the eyelid. Around 90% to 95% of the lesions are due to Staphylococcus aureus, with Staphylococcus epidermidis being the 2nd most common cause. An external hordeolum represents a localized abscess formation of the follicle of an eyelash, whereas an internal hordeolum is an acute bacterial infection of the meibomian glands of the eyelid.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557372/

  Eyelid inflammations can occur if a gland along the edge of the eyelid becomes inflamed. This leads to swelling. If its caused by bacteria, this can happen very quickly and hurt. It is then known as a stye (hordeolum) a pus-filled swelling on the eyelid, caused by an infection. […] Styes are caused by bacteria that infect a gland in the eyelid. […] It is easy to diagnose styes and chalazia based on what they look like and the symptoms they cause: If the inflamed area doesnt hurt, even when you push against it, its probably a chalazion.

[…] Clinical examination suffices for the diagnosis and management of uncomplicated styes. For recurrent and atypical cases, laboratory tests (eg, cultures and glucose testing) and imaging (eg, CT and MRI) may be required. […] A stye is usually a self-limiting condition, with resolution occurring spontaneously within a week. Internal and external hordeola are treated similarly. Warm compresses and erythromycin ophthalmic ointment applied twice a day are usually sufficient to hasten recovery and prevent the spread of infection. […] Most styes resolve within 1 to 2 weeks with proper conservative care. […] The prognosis for a stye is generally excellent with appropriate management. Most cases resolve spontaneously or require only conservative treatment and do not produce significant complications.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stye

  Stye complications occur in very rare cases. However, the most frequent complication of styes is progression to a chalazion that causes cosmetic deformity, corneal irritation, and often requires surgical removal. Complications may also arise from the improper surgical lancing, and mainly consist of disruption of lash growth, lid deformity or lid fistula. Large styes may interfere with one’s vision. Eyelid cellulitis is another potential complication of eye styes, which is a generalized infection of the eyelid. Progression of a stye to a systemic infection (spreading throughout the body) is extremely rare, and only a few instances of such spread have been recorded. […] Most cases of styes resolve on their own within one to two weeks, without professional care. The primary treatment is application of warm compresses. As a part of self-care at home, people may cleanse the affected eyelid with tap water or with a mild, nonirritating soap or shampoo (such as baby shampoo) to help clean crusted discharge. People with styes should avoid eye makeup (e.g., eyeliner), lotions, and wearing contact lenses, since these can aggravate and spread the infection. People are advised not to lance the stye themselves, as serious infection can occur. Pain relievers such as acetaminophen may be used.

This bump, also known as a hordeolum, occurs when one of the oil glands that line your eyelid becomes blocked and then infected with bacteria. […] A stye can also occur if a hair follicle at the base of your eyelash becomes infected. The infection causes the oil gland to swell and redden. The resulting bump is tender to the touch.
