Hordeolum

A common ophthalmologic medical condition which is characterized by an erythematous painful small pimple-like bump on the eyelid. It is commonly referred to as an external stye. Along with pain there is associated tenderness when touching the bump. There is no specific location for Hordeolum to occur as it may present itself anywhere around the eyelid, although in majority of cases they appear around the edge of the eye. Hordeolum is common among children and is rarely seen in adults.
