Stye explained
An infected oil gland or lash follicle produces a stye: a small, sore, red lump on the lid margin.
Signs of stye to look for
- A gritty feeling
- Swelling of the lid
- A small yellow spot as it comes to a head
- Watering eye
Causes and risk factors
Bacteria blocking an eyelid gland, often after touching the eyes with unwashed hands, or from old make-up or contact lenses.
Marmaris: local notes for stye
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.

Marmaris was ancient Physkos, and its castle overlooks the harbour. Trip for travellers: explore the old town, shop the Grand Bazaar for textiles, leather and spices, and join a boat trip along the bays. Water sports include jet-skiing, parasailing, diving and windsurfing.
