The consequence of a chalazion<\/strong> is inflammation caused by the blockage of the drainage duct of a Meibomian gland, located inside the upper and\/or lower eyelid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This then manifests as a small bump<\/strong> on the eyelid, which can grow in size and may become red, painful<\/strong>, with a sensation of heat<\/strong> over the course of several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Typically, a chalazion disappears after a few weeks, and in this case, there are no medical consequences. A chalazion is not contagious<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stye and chalazion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though a stye<\/a> is also a bump in the eyelid caused by the obstruction of a sebaceous gland, a chalazion is not<\/strong> a stye. A stye represents an acute infection<\/strong> of the gland. A chalazion is not an infection but rather an inflammation<\/strong> of the area. Inflammation is a process in which the body reacts to a condition and produces swelling, redness, pain, or heat. A stye is usually more painful than a chalazion and may appear infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A chalazion is caused by the oil from the Meibomian gland becoming too thick to flow out of the gland. The oil then accumulates within the gland, forming a bump in the eyelid. The gland's wall may rupture, releasing the oil into the tissue of the eyelid, which then causes inflammation of the tissues and sometimes even scarring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical Treatment<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treatment for a chalazion may include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying warm compresses for five to ten minutes, four times a day, to reduce swelling and encourage drainage of the gland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A medical prescription for antibiotic drops or ointments if a bacterial infection is suspected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rarely, an injection of a steroid medication into the area of the bump (the chalazion)<\/em> to help reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a chalazion causes significant symptoms or lasts for several weeks, it may be necessary to remove it surgically<\/strong>. If the appearance of the chalazion bothers the patient, surgical removal may also be performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of multiple chalazia<\/strong> or recurrent chalazia<\/strong>, the possibility that the patient may have a generalized condition affecting the sebaceous glands should be considered. This is the case with rosacea: this condition can be treated long-term with oral medication to alter the consistency of the oils produced by the glands.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
