A stye or hordeolum is a small, inflamed hair follicle or an infection of a sebaceous gland in the eyelid’s edge. It can affect the skin of the eyebrows and eyelids. It usually appears on the lower eyelid. Stye has two types: External hordeolum. Internal hordeolum. The most common causes of styes include incomplete removal of makeup, conjunctivitis, staphylococcus bacteria, lack of hygiene, blockage of sebaceous glands near the eyelids, and poor nutrition. Due to elevated blood lipid levels or fats that block the oil glands, obese people are more likely to develop styes. Ayurveda calls internal stye Utsangini or Kumbhika, while external stye is called Anjananamika. Pitta dosha and Rakta dhatu vitiation are the main contributors to its occurrence. However, Anjananamika is also caused by other doshas.
