Do you get stys if your run down?

You can get them if your immune system is sluggish and you are not well. Stys are also a problem if you and your family pass the bacteria from the stys around to each other. You should see your skin doctor or opthalamologist to get it properly treated and do not try to pop the stys. Get your immune system built up and get a good physical.
