Hi I was wondering does anyone else keep getting eye styes? I seem to get rid of one then a few weeks later another one comes.

This isn't good, mousey. What does your GP say? I'd be wondering whether you may have a type of blepharitis predisposing you to recurring styes.

There are various treatments that can help...my eye clinic opthalmologist recommends the MGDRx Eye Bag (available form Amazon etc), which has helped me a lot (as one part of my daily combined therapy dry eye treatment plan). Some people use warm damp compress treatment, but dampness aggravates my version of dry eye, so I stick with these eye bags 😉

I agree with coco. I treat my eyes daily after going through blepharitis and styes. I was told to do compresses and wash with no tears baby shampoo and water. I now find it easier to use a liquid I bought from Amazon, which I just squeeze on a cotton pad.

Thank you for that I just use fairly hot boiled water and just hold it on the stye for a while.Luckily it only lasts for about 2 days.

Yes, I used to get styes all the time before I was officially diagnosed with Sjogrens+SLE. I also occasionally had/have blepharitis but no styes since being made aware of my dry eye issues and how to take care of my eyes (which includes frequent drops and eye using eye lid scrub/wash that the others described above.
