Is the stye caused by looking at dirty things?

"Why do I have a pimple on my eyelid when I woke up?"

Red, swollen and painful?

Don’t squeeze it, you’ll get stye!

What exactly is this “conspicuous bag”?

Why do they say that peeking at naughty things will make them grow?

Today we will explore

--eye of a needle

Who exactly is “Needle Eye”?

"Pineye" does not mean a needle grows in the eye, nor does the eye look like a needle. Instead, it is something similar to a small lump or "pimple" that appears around the eye.

On the surface, it looks red, swollen, and even a little painful.

Stye, also known as "sty" in medicine, is an acute inflammatory disease of the eye mainly caused by bacterial infection (such as staphylococcus).

At first, the eye will itch, then become red, swollen, hot, painful, and even have yellow pus spots like acne. Stye often affects people with poor resistance.

But this inflammation comes and goes quickly, leaving no trace behind, so don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. If you eliminate the "acne" completely, the redness and swelling will generally subside in about a week.

It is important to note that:

If you get a stye, don't panic or get annoyed, and don't pick it out with a needle or squeeze it out with your hands, because the area around the eye is covered with a rich network of nerves and blood vessels.

Improper handling may lead to bacterial infection!

At this time, symptomatic treatment should be given according to the severity of the stye. In the early stage, when the eyelids are itchy and red, you can use a clean towel for hot compresses and use eye drops or eye ointment!

If the redness and swelling do not subside after hot compress, and nodules appear on the eyelids, seek medical attention immediately and do not delay, so as not to delay the best treatment period!

How to escape from the clutches of the "eye of the needle"?

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands. If you really have to rub your eyes, wash your hands thoroughly with hand sanitizer before rubbing them.

Towels and bedding should be changed and washed frequently. Towels should be washed once a week and replaced with new ones every three months.

It is best to wash sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, etc. once a week; pillows are best washed every 4-6 months. If you can't wash them, expose them to the sun or use a dryer to sterilize them at high temperature;

Family members should not share towels as this can easily lead to cross-infection of bacteria.

2. Pay attention to cleansing after makeup

Try to reduce the number of times you wear makeup. If you wear makeup, make sure to remove it before going to bed.

Do not use expired cosmetics;

Before wearing cosmetic contact lenses, wash your hands thoroughly with hand sanitizer, and disinfect the contact lenses with care solution to sterilize them.

3. Avoid staying up late

Get enough sleep and avoid overusing your eyes. Eat less irritating foods and have a light diet.

Do more exercise to improve your body's immunity.

Having a "pinhole" is actually not scary

It's not something shameful.

This is an eye disease caused by bacterial infection.

As long as the right medicine is given, the problem can be solved

The scary thing is that many people stigmatize this matter.

We should look at every disease rationally

We must go into science and believe in science

You can joke appropriately, but don't open your mouth without saying anything.

Put a hat on someone else

By the way, have you ever had a stye?
