They are usually formed in the lids and are small red bumps; these styes can be either external or internal. Styes are small-sized and rather short in duration. They happen particularly often in [[infant]]s, although people of all ages can get it. They are triggered by [[eye]] rubbing or poor [[nutrition]]. They often last four days under treatment to two weeks without. {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Diseases and disorders of the eye]]
