A stye, also known as a hordeolum, is a painful red bump on the edge of the eyelid, similar to an acne pimple. Here are the common clinical features of a stye:
1. Painful red bump: A stye is characterized by a painful red bump along the edge of the eyelid or lash line.
2. Swelling: The swelling may occur around the bump, sometimes affecting the entire eyelid.
3. Pus: The stye may be filled with yellow pus.
4. Crusting: There may be crustiness along the lid and lash line.
5. Eye discomfort: The eye may feel scratchy, as if something is in the eye.
6. Light sensitivity: The eye may become sensitive to light.
7. Tearing: There may be excessive tearing, causing watery eyes.
Please note that these symptoms are usually painful. However, if a stye progresses to the point of inflammation, it can cause the area around it to become red, swollen, and painful.
