Yes it is the result of an infection at the base of an eyelash follicle.

But it is hard. It pretty much spreads like pinkeye, for example:

You have to touch your eye, then touch something that goes near another persons eye, like mascara or eyeliner.

(pink eye spreads much easier than a sty. Sorry. MS)

It's generally not recommended to remove lash extensions if you have a sty, as the area around the eye is sensitive and can become more irritated. Instead, it's best to wait until the sty heals. If the lash extensions are causing discomfort or exacerbating the sty, consult a professional for safe removal. Always prioritize eye health and hygiene in such situations.

I believe it is a sty. A sty is an acute infection or inflammation of the secretory glands of the eyelids. It sometimes causes, because you get dirt in your eye. I don't think it would be a sty. More than likely it is a cornea ulcer. You should see your local optomatrist.
