Banal stye can develop into a serious complication.
Only a few people have experienced this unpleasant disease, as barley. In fact, doctors call this phenomenon not a disease, and the inflammatory process. But this does not mean that it does not need to be treated, and with the uncomfortable symptoms are not worth fighting for. If you have on your eye popped barley, then be sure to see a doctor, because the cause of stye is an infection and needs to be fixed, otherwise complications can not be avoided.
Most people are mistaken when they think that barley is a result of hypothermia. Doctors call bacterial infection real causative agent of the inflammation of the lower eyelid and its membranes. Despite the fact that the stye grows out of the infection, the disease is not contagious.
