I have a stye and?

i read alot about putting a hot, herbal teabag on it to help. I tried that but i also tried dumping the contents of the teabag into a boiling pot of water and steaming my face. you know with the towel over the head etc. do you think maybe this could work too? It seemed to reduce it a little but i wonder if it maybe could make it worse?
