Please, really only looking for someone with a medical background to answer this question, since I've already confronted the varying info out there on the web...
I have what I think is a stye on the lower lid of my right eye. There's a pain and a swelling, though I can't see anything that looks like an exterior pimple or spot, per se.
I'm going to the doctor on Monday...but my question is, how contagious are styes, and in what manner? Mainly what I'm concerned about is that I have a second date with someone over the weekend...If I kiss them, would that be an instance in which the stye could spread? Or is it more complicated/oblique than that? It's a bit awkward to bring it up, unless I need to...
