Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staff
Most sties eventually fill with pus and then rupture. The release of pus relieves one major symptom of sties — pain. Usually the sty then disappears.
Symptoms of sties include:
- Pain
- A red lump similar to a boil or a pimple
- Swelling on your eyelid
- Light sensitivity
- A scratchy sensation in your eye
- Tearing
