I keep getting styes in my eyelids...usually lower or corner of the eye.
I was always told that they are just infected hair folicules but i've also been told it's a sign that you're "run down". Just woken up and it looks like i've gone 10 rounds with Lennox Leweis !!!
Any ideas

I went home and followed his instructions, and yes i squeezed it out! Sorry gross i know, but it has left me with a really bad scar on my eyelid! It now looks like i have a stye ALL the time! So do NOT squeeze them!x
To reduce the chance of the infection spreading:
* don't share facecloths/flannels or towels with anyone whilst you have a stye.
* always wash your hands after touching the affected eyelid.
Will it happen again?
Most styes are one-off events. However, some people seem prone to getting them. At the first sign of a stye, try hot compresses. This may 'nip it in the bud'.
