15 Things Your Eyes Are Trying To Tell You About Your Overall Health

13. Recurring Stye

Styes are red, bulging, and usually painful lumps filled with pus that happen to appear on the edge of the eyelids that usually resemble a pimple or a boil. They can also vary in size and can occur one by one, or in multiple numbers. Although most styes go away in a few days with minor home treatments, there are times when they are recurring or just refuse to go away completely. If this is the case, it could be due to a rare form of cancer called sebaceous gland carcinoma. This rare cancer begins in the oil gland of the skin, normally affecting the eyelids as a result. Although getting styes often doesn’t necessarily mean you have a serious condition, it could mean that you lack general hygiene and need to rev up your hygiene practices more to keep your face and eyes cleaner and bacteria-free.
