A chalazion is a condition of the eyes in which a
red bump occurs on the upper and lower eyelids due to a
blocked gland. If a bump occurs on the edges of the eyelid it is called a
stye. It is a little difference between a chalazion and a stye. it is also a
condition that creates pain, swelling, and inflammation.

what-is-chalazion?



The eye is a basic part of our body and chalazion looks very bad on our
face. sometimes its size increases due to negligence to treat it. Because a
lot of pus is filled up in the bump and the size of the bump increases. Then
it takes a long time to resolve.

When it is not resolved ultimately the only solution is operation or
surgery.
 

What are the Causes of Chalazion?

A chalazion occurs when something blocks small oil glands of the eyelids
that are called meibomian glands. The blocked gland starts to retain the oil
and swell. As a result, the fluid will drain and you can get a red lump on
your eyelids.

Rosacea, Chronic Blepharitis, and Seborrheic Dermatitis are
other causes of a Chalazion.

Rosacea is the condition of the skin that causes redness and acne on your
skin. 
Chronic Blepharitis creates redness and irritation in your
eyes. 
Seborrheic Dermatitis makes your skin dry, itchy, flaky, and
swell.

How a Chalazion can be Prevent?

Keep clean the Hygiene of your eyes and protect your eyes. Wash your hands
with Soap or sanitize many times in a day. Don’t touch or rub the eyes again
and again. The hands should be clean if you touched the eyelids.

Do not wear contact lenses in that condition and avoid any cosmetic
product. it can create itching and dryness on your eyelids that can be
serious
Don’t apply any chemicals on eyelids without counseling with your
doctor.

Do not share your makeup or contact lenses with others.
Throw your old and expired makeup and replace your mascara and eye
shadows after 2 or 3 months.

Before going to bed for sleeping, wash your face with a
facial scrub or any herbal face wash. It helps to remove dirt
and dirty oil from your face.

Fast Chalazion Treatment

Normally you can treat a chalazion at home but never push on a chalazion or
pop it at home. You can injure your eyes instead of remedy.

One day I noticed that I have a chalazion on my upper eyelash line. So I
did the usual put warm compresses. Anyway, I noticed it was not going after
two months and I thought I’ll just give it some time and see what happens.
Everyone at college started asking me out had happened to it and everyone
asked me it doesn’t,t hurt you or itch you? I become very self-conscious of
it and tried to make never eye contact with anyone.

After 6 months of having
a chalazion and trying endless hot compresses, I applied
apple cider vinegar for 5 days and 3 to 4 times a day. Take a cotton
and dip into apple cider vinegar and apply on chalazion for 60 seconds.
finally, this cure worked and now I am chalazion-free.

Apple cider vinegar is available at stores and you can also buy it
online. 

Use Warm Compresses

Take a piece of cloth and wet it with warm water. Keep this piece on the
affected area of your eyelids for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day.

Clean Hygiene

Wash the hygiene of your eyelids with sterile saline water. You can
use baby shampoo and any facial scrub for this purpose. It will keep neat
and clean your eyelid’s hygiene and prevents harmful bacteria.

Gently Massage Affected Area

You can gently massage the affected area of the eyelids it helps to open
the blockage of the meibomian oil glands.

Medical Treatment

If the chalazion is not resolved you should take it seriously and should
contact to eye specialist doctor. A doctor can treat with steroid injection
to reduce swelling.

A doctor can prescribe any lubricant eye drop or any
antibiotic
drop

or ointment along with oral steroid and anti-inflammatory drugs. In some
serious cases, your physician can cut your chalazion through operation or
surgery to drain pus.
