Everyone has a sty-causing bacteria on our skin, so we all have the potential to develop styes. Usually the bacteria grow in the root (follicle) of an eyelash or infect tiny oil glands inside the eyelid. With poor hygiene and frequent rubbing of eyes, a sty is more likely to develop and can recur. So keep your eyes and hands clean, do not share washcloths or towels with others and avoid rubbing of eyes.

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.

Denavir (penciclovir) is an antiviral cream typically used to treat cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is not indicated for the treatment of eye stys, which are usually caused by bacterial infections. For eye stys, a healthcare provider may recommend warm compresses or antibiotics rather than Denavir. Always consult a doctor for appropriate treatment options for specific conditions.
