But if you notice that you get styes that are often recurring or refuse to go away, this could actually mean that you have a rare form of cancer known as sebaceous gland carcinoma. This is considered a very rare form of cancer that starts in the oil gland of the skin and usually affects the eyelids. Having recuring styes doesn’t automatically mean you have cancer, but rather need to up your hygiene practices to keep your eye glands clean and infection-free.
