What is a stye how is it caused and how can you heal it?

A stye is a "pimple" on the skin surrounding the eye, particularly the eyelid. It is an infection, but I have found that drinking lots of water can help you get rid of a stye easily. Another way: If you put a teabag (wet with hot water) on the stye, it completely helps the swelling of the stye. Check out the 'Related Links' below for more information.
