Stye & Chalazion Treatment Tampa Bay

A stye (hordeolum) is a painful, red bump caused by an infected eyelid oil gland. A chalazion is a painless lump that develops when one of these glands becomes blocked and inflamed. Although they may look similar, both are usually signs of an underlying eyelid condition that should be properly treated.

Common causes include blepharitis (eyelid inflammation), meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), rosacea, dry eye disease, skin conditions, bacteria, allergies, contact lens irritation, and poor eyelid hygiene. Without treating the underlying cause, these bumps often return.

Dr. Sara Creekmore uses a comprehensive, personalized treatment protocol to relieve symptoms and reduce recurrence. Depending on your condition, treatment may include warm compresses, eyelid hygiene, prescription medications, steroid injections, radiofrequency therapy (Forma-I®), Lumecca IPL®, and surgical removal when necessary.

Unlike treatments that simply address the bump, our advanced therapies improve the health of the eyelids by reducing inflammation, restoring normal oil gland function, and promoting natural healing.
If you have a persistent or recurring stye or chalazion, don't wait for it to become more painful or affect your vision.
