What
is it?
A stye
is an inflamed eyelash follicle. It causes swelling of the
eyelid and is painful to the slightest pressure. The onset of the
inflammation is characterized by a soft eyelid that swells up to a
lump.
What
causes it?
Any type
of bacteria that makes it way to the hair follicles of your
eyelashes can cause a stye. They are normally deep in the skin, so
no amount of squeezing it will cause the pus to rupture out. Squeezing
would make it dangerous, as it will cause agonizing pain and spread
the puss.

possibility.
