Chalazion!

Go hungry.

My daughter has been experiencing this on both eyes for half a year now... they become red, "fill up," and then burst... We've seen so many doctors, treatments have been prescribed from folk medicine to hormonal... but to no avail...

Sea bathing will definitely help. It draws out all the impurities. I had something similar too, actually behind my knee. It was purple around and felt like there was something inside. It popped up around the end of winter somewhere. Then in the summer, I went to the sea, bathed for about five minutes, came out of the water, and there was a hole with a little blood. By evening, there was nothing to see anymore.

I've had them twice. Both times they were surgically removed. Afterwards, the doctor recommended taking a course of brewer's yeast. They haven't come back since.

It's practically impossible to remove them without surgery. There's some miracle injection that supposedly dissolves it, but that's not 100% effective either.

Overall, it's necessary to figure out what the body is lacking, as a chalazion doesn't just appear for no reason. And it's essential to wear a head covering in autumn and spring when it seems already/still warm.

3, you didn't have a chalazion. :) Thank you anyway. The sea works wonders!

Venice, I've also had a chalazion for the second time. The first was when I was about 12, and they gave me an injection directly into the chalazion itself—it had just appeared and responded to the injection by dissolving. This time, the doctor said it's hard and an injection won't help, only surgery... Please tell me how the operation went, what you felt (I assume it was local anaesthesia), and how it was after the surgery (was there bruising, were the eyelashes not trimmed)?

My daughter had the same thing two years ago. We had to have it removed. The operation was very quick, just a few minutes. It was under local anaesthetic. Of course, it was painful for her, but it was all over quickly. There was no bruising, and they didn't trim her eyelashes.

8, thank you very much!!! :)

I think I've decided on the surgery too...

Of course, it's better to delete it since it doesn't go away on its own. Don't worry, everything will be fine.))

Julica, thank you so much for your support and the push towards determination! I just saw online how the surgery is performed and got scared. But since you also say that everything is fine, well—it must be done, in short!

By the way, did your little girl wear a bandage for some time?

The procedure goes like this:

1. They give an injection under the lower eyelid. This is the moment of truth. If they hit a blood vessel, you'll get a massive bruise...

2. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the doctor turns the eyelid inside out with a special tool, makes a small incision, scrapes out all the excess, puts a cotton pad in there, and bandages your head.

3. You look like Sharikov Polygraph Polygraphovich, get up, and go home.

I didn't feel a thing. Only an unpleasant sensation from the awareness that you're undergoing surgery. The bandage must be kept on for 24 hours. It quickly becomes annoying, and you want to take it off, but you can't because it reduces the chance of bruising.

The first time, there was a bruise. For 3 weeks. Awful. The second time, there was nothing, and I went to college the next day.

Good luck. And don't be afraid.

Venice, thank you so much! You're a gem - I'm completely at ease now.

:)

Physiotherapy or surgery—both are effective.

Physio? I've never even heard of that.

I wore the bandage for literally a few days. After that, there was no bruising or swelling.

Thank you, girls! I've decided to go for it too. :) :* to all of you

I have a chalazion... They've scheduled surgery for me. I'm really scared. Tell me, is it painful??? Please describe the procedure in detail. Thanks in advance.

How much might such an operation cost!?

Hello. Could you please tell me if the eyelid swells significantly after the operation, and how long does this swelling last? Thank you in advance.

This operation costs around 4 thousand roubles.

Girls, my daughter also had chalazions; we were advised to use yellow mercury ointment (specially prepared at the pharmacy) and tetracycline ointment at night. There's a chance to avoid surgery.

And do scars remain?

I had it done... it was awful, of course, childbirth seemed like a fairy tale in comparison... the bruise was huge, it took about three weeks to fade... but it doesn't dissolve on its own. So it needs to be operated on.

My husband had it and apparently still does(( They said not to touch it! It seems like it indicates a weak immune system((

And you can apply "Traumeel"! It's a herbal gel, they say it works wonders!

Hello, girls! I've developed a chalazion on my upper eyelid and tried everything for treatment—nothing helped. I ended up requesting surgery myself. The procedure itself was bearable, but the result has been completely disappointing—a lump is growing again on my eyelid (I don't know the reason), and it looks very much like what I had before the surgery...

I had a small one for about two years on my lower eyelid and went to see an ophthalmologist. She said it would go away on its own, and it did. I didn't treat it with anything.

The ophthalmologist is practically a witch, healing with words. :)

How will the operation proceed? Will I be kept there? And will I see them cutting my eye? Ooh, that's scary.

I'm afraid that I'll be held down and it will hurt :o

I paid 1,100.

My son had an operation, it cost 1100.

Who has used yellow mercury ointment? What was the result? Our doctor prescribed Floxal drops, but the result was "zero". I'm afraid to put my child through a second operation—after the first one, he was shaking. They removed it from the lower eyelid, but on the fifth day, a new one appeared, this time on the upper eyelid, and it's so big. In the mornings, it swells up, and the eye becomes puffy. What should I do? Are there any suggestions besides surgery?

Alright folks, stop stressing out))), my advice... as soon as you start feeling something's not right, like itching and so on, immediately brew some tea and apply it to your eye... slightly hot, kind of like cauterising... do this for a few days, even a week for safety's sake, nobody wants to go around with a swollen eye for a year lol, you can also use regular eye drops like sulfacyl-sodium, and that's it... this only works in the early stages... but no guarantee, it might go away or it might not, mine went away a couple of times after about 9 months, I don't want surgery... already had two... it's a hassle, having to get tests done and all that. But this worked for me=). Good luck!

Look for products from the Neways company, specifically Revinol (an antioxidant) and Ming Gold (for immunity). They are expensive but effective.

The operation will be quick; they'll administer local anaesthesia into the eyelid, so you won't see anything. They'll remove it, cauterise it, put a bandage on the eye, and then you'll be sent home.

Surgery? Quick? It depends on who you are; mine took almost an hour, I nearly went crazy. After the surgery, I felt terrible, they gave me painkiller injections... the bruise hasn't faded even after 5 days... And they didn't remove a small new lump that appeared on my upper eyelid... I'm never going for surgery again!!!((((

Good evening. I'm on my fourth chalazion now; the first three resolved on their own, but this last one... just won't budge, getting bigger every day. I noticed it in February and tried everything that worked before, but nothing helped. I've seen several doctors—one said it would go away with sunshine, another prescribed an injection, and a third was strongly against the injection. One wise doctor advised treating the cause, not the symptom, and to see an immunologist. In the end, the immunologist found the underlying issue, but the chalazion can no longer be treated with medication. I'm having surgery tomorrow. I'm absolutely terrified!!! I've read all sorts of horror stories. But I can't stand having such an eye any longer. I'm fed up! I'll update on the outcome. Wishing everyone good health!

Good afternoon! I've just returned from surgery. They removed two chalazions from one eye. One was internal, and the other was external at quite an advanced stage. I was absolutely terrified! In the end, I can assure everyone that visits to the gynaecologist and dentist are much more unpleasant and sometimes even more painful. There were three injections, which weren't painful at all (taking blood from a finger hurts much more). The only uncomfortable part was the clamp on the eyelid—it presses unpleasantly. But it's something you can endure when it's about our Beauty! Scraping the gland was completely painless. Afterwards, they applied stitches and a pressure bandage. That wasn't very pleasant either. You'll be asked to press on your eye over the bandage yourself and sit like that for an hour. But if you take it easy and don't press hard enough, there will be swelling and bruising. They'll happen anyway, but the extent... might depend on your perseverance))) I'm even planning to go to work this evening to amuse my colleagues)))

Good luck to everyone, and don't be afraid!!!

People!!! A chalazion (hailstone) can be treated with folk remedies!!! I'm sharing! Read carefully, and this method will definitely help you!!!! ...Boil a kettle of water...after that, having previously wiped a windowpane (in any room, any building), bring the boiling kettle close to it, and hold it until steam forms on the glass (the more, the better). Then! Attention! With the RING finger (next to the "pinky") of the OPPOSITE hand to the chalazion, rub the steam collected from the glass from the edge of the eye towards the nose! Repeat the procedure as often as possible during the day, and literally within a couple of weeks, it will burst and then disappear completely!

Folk remedies are all nonsense; I tried treating myself with them for a long time and now I'm paying a very high price for it.

Hello! I'd like to share my experience of surgically removing a chalazion. I was terribly worried and had browsed through mountains of information online about its treatment. I watched a video of the removal surgery, got scared, and ran to the clinic the next day. No tests were done on me; they scheduled the surgery for the following day. The operation itself was quick. The most unpleasant part was the anaesthetic injection and the turning inside out of the eyelid. Everything else—I didn't even feel it. After the surgery, I sat in the room for 20 minutes, pressing a gauze sponge to my eye. They didn't apply a bandage, prescribed 'Tobradex' eye drops, and sent me home. In the evening, after the anaesthetic wore off, my eyelid swelled up, and there were minor bruises on it; my temperature also rose slightly. By morning, the temperature had gone down. All traces disappeared after 3 days. So, my advice is: don't be too gentle with your eye—press firmly to avoid bruising, don't be afraid of the temperature rise, and don't worry if the swelling increases. The main thing is to decide on the surgery, overcome your fear, and not stress. Everything will be fine!!!!! By the way, regarding the corticosteroid injection (if the chalazion isn't advanced), I also had that done a year ago, but it reappeared in the same spot a month later. Also, the injection cost half as much as the surgery and didn't help at all.

I wish everyone a successful outcome!!!!!

After surgery, chalazions can reappear. This is not the best way to deal with them.

- Wash your face with sea salt water

- Apply warm compresses using a hot tea bag (or a boiled egg, or salt wrapped in a cloth)

- Massage your eyelids

- Fasting can also be helpful

- Strengthen your immune system

- Treat gastrointestinal issues

- Maintain cleanliness in your living environment. Dirt, dust, smoke, and pets can complicate the fight against this condition.

I had that nuisance on the same eye three times after a stye. The first time, I tried treating it with drops—it didn't help (it only slightly reduced in size and the inflammation disappeared). Eventually, after nine months, it went away on its own during the summer at the seaside under the sun's rays in just one week. When the second and third ones appeared, I treated them by warming them against a radiator or towel rail (if it's too hot, place a tissue or folded handkerchief underneath). It's quite possible to warm it with a hot chicken egg, as some suggest. With regular warming, it heals within 2-4 weeks. If a small lump remains after regular warming sessions, don't worry about it; it will go away on its own over time. To prevent this rubbish from occurring in the future, warm any styes that appear as a preventive measure.

After curing the third one, nothing has appeared for over a year now.

Good luck to everyone. )

If ointments are not effective, it's necessary to start injections, and if the chalazion does not dissolve after the injections, then surgery is required. The operation is not complicated, and there are no complications if the postoperative recommendations are followed. From my experience, I want to note that removal is the only way to save time and money—after the operation, the capsule will not reappear in that spot. The surgery is painless, only causing discomfort and nothing more. I had it done in Moscow, at the Helmholtz Research Institute. It was performed by E.N. Verigo—an excellent doctor and experienced surgeon. People come to her who have had unsuccessful operations in upscale private clinics. There was no bruising, and the swelling subsided within a day. Good luck to everyone.

It's better to have the surgery; it's painless and will completely remove it. To prevent a recurrence, strengthen your immune system so that this infection doesn't stick around.

If the doctor applies pressure to the eye for about 30 minutes right after the operation, there will be no bruising, just a small swelling that will subside within two days.

I was also very scared of the surgery, but it turned out that many of my fears were unfounded)

The surgery itself is rather unpleasant and, in my opinion, still a bit painful. Although I think I was so frightened beforehand that it intensified my sensations. Afterwards, my eye hurt, but not severely. Essentially, by the next day, there was no pain at all, just some discomfort. They put on a bandage, but unfortunately, it wasn't very secure and fell off during the night) This didn't affect anything because I ended up with no bruising, and the swelling went away exactly after three days. It's been a week now, and I've already forgotten about both the surgery and this nuisance) A beautiful, normal eye. (touch wood)

So, I would recommend having the surgery! With "folk remedies," you'll suffer for a very long time, and an injection won't help in all cases, plus there's a chance of recurrence. So, bravely fight this ailment and don't be afraid of anything=))
