I am getting external stye or hordeolum on my eyelids (mostly upper) regularly for the past few days. It goes away on its own in 1 or 2 days. But again it is coming back. It is not painful. Please suggest some medicine. Thanks.

Recurrent infections cools be due to underlying diabetes. Please rule out diabetes. Chronic infections can occur due to resistant bacteria due to repeated use of antibiotics. It should be managed in consultation with your doctor. Use of anti septic eye scrubs and good eye as well as hand hygiene will go a long way in general
