From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A degloving injury is a type of avulsion in which an extensive section of skin is completely torn off the underlying tissue, severing its blood supply. It is named by analogy to the process of removing a glove. Typically, degloving injuries affect the extremities and limbs. Any injury which would induce degloving of the head or torso is likely to be lethal.
An external stye starts as a pimple next to an eyelash. It turns into a red, painful bump that may last several days before it bursts and then heals. Some external styes are short-lived and heal on their own, while others may require the care of your eye doctor. An internal stye (on the underside of the lid) also causes a red, painful bump, but its location prevents the familiar whitehead from appearing on the eyelid. The internal stye may disappear completely once the infection is past, or it may leave a small fluid-filled cyst that may have to be opened and drained.
