Chalazion!

Go hungry.

My daughter has been getting them on both eyes for half a year now... They turn red, "fill up," and burst... We've seen so many doctors, treatments have been prescribed from folk medicine to hormonal... and no use at all...

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

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.

Getting rid of them without surgery is practically impossible. There's some miracle injection that supposedly dissolves them, but that's not 100% effective either.

Overall, you need to figure out what's lacking in your body, because a chalazion doesn't just appear for no reason. And it's essential to wear a hat 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 also have a chalazion for the second time. The first one was when I was about 12, and they gave me an injection directly into the chalazion itself—it had just appeared and was responsive to the injection for absorption. 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 think it was local anesthesia), and how it was after the surgery (was there a bruise, were the eyelashes not cut)?

My daughter had the same thing two years ago. We had to have it removed. The surgery was very quick, just a few minutes. Local anesthesia was used. Of course, it hurt her, but it was over quickly. There was no bruising, and they didn't cut her eyelashes.

8, thank you so much!!! :)

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

Of course, it's better to remove 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 toward determination! I just saw online how the surgery is performed and got scared. But since you also say everything is fine, well—I guess it's necessary, 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 anesthesia kicks in, the doctor flips the eyelid with a special tool, makes a small incision, scrapes out all the excess, places a cotton pad there, and bandages your head.

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

I didn't feel anything. Only the unpleasant awareness that you're undergoing surgery. The bandage must stay on for 24 hours. It gets annoying quickly, and you want to take it off, but you can't because it helps reduce the chance of bruising.

The first time, I had a bruise. For 3 weeks. Awful. The second time, nothing happened, 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.

:)

Physical therapy 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 bruise or swelling.

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

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

How much could such an operation cost!?

Hello. Could you please tell me if the eyelid swells significantly after surgery and how long this swelling lasts? Thank you in advance.

This operation costs around 4,000 rubles.

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 no 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, surgery is necessary.

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 have a chalazion on my upper eyelid. I tried everything for treatment—nothing helped. I asked for surgery myself—the procedure itself was tolerable, but the result was completely disappointing. A bump is growing on my eyelid again (I don’t know the reason). It looks very similar to what was there before the surgery...

I had a small one for about 2 years on my lower eyelid, and I went to an ophthalmologist. She said it would go away on its own, and it did. I didn't treat it with anything.

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

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

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

I paid 1,100.

My son had surgery, 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 go for a second surgery—after the first one, my child was shaking. They removed it from the lower eyelid, but on the fifth day, a new one appeared on the upper eyelid, and it's so big. It swells in the morning, and the eye gets puffy. What should I do? Any advice besides surgery?

Folks, stop stressing out))), my advice... as soon as you start feeling something's off, like itching, etc., immediately brew some tea and apply it to your eye... slightly hot, kind of like cauterizing... do this for a few days, even a week for safety, since no one wants to walk around with a swollen eye for a year lol. You can also use regular eye drops, sodium sulfacyl, and that's it... this only works in the early stages... but no guarantee, it might go away or it might not. For me, it went away twice in about 9 months, I don't want surgery... already had two... it's a hassle, getting tests done and all that. But this worked for me =). Good luck!

Look for products from the Neways company, specifically Revenol (antioxidant) and Ming Gold (for immunity). Expensive, but effective.

The operation will be quick. They'll administer local anesthesia to the eyelid, so you won't see anything. They'll remove it, cauterize it, put a bandage on your eye, and then send you home.

Surgery? Quick? It depends on who you are; mine took almost an hour, I almost 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 back for surgery again!!!((((

Good evening. I'm also on my fourth chalazion; the first three resolved on their own, but this last one... just won't go away, getting bigger every day. I noticed it in February and tried everything that worked before, but nothing helped. I visited several doctors—one said it would go away with some 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 my eye look like THIS anymore. I'm fed up! I'll update on the outcome. Wishing everyone good health!

Good afternoon! I just got back from surgery. I had two chalazions removed from one eye. One was internal, and the other was external and quite advanced. I was absolutely terrified! In the end, I can assure everyone that going to the gynecologist or dentist is much more unpleasant and sometimes even more painful. There were three injections, and they didn't hurt at all (getting blood drawn from a finger is much worse). The only uncomfortable part was the clamp on the eyelid—it pressed unpleasantly. But it's something you can endure when it's about our beauty! Scraping the gland was completely painless. Afterward, they put in stitches and a pressure bandage. That part wasn't very pleasant either. They'll ask you to press on your eye over the bandage and sit like that for an hour. But if you take it easy and don't press hard enough, you'll get swelling and a bruise. Of course, they'll happen anyway, but how severe they are... 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!!! 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 toward 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 want to share my experience with surgical removal of a chalazion. I was terribly worried and browsed tons 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 surgery went quickly. The most unpleasant part was the anesthetic injection and the eyelid being turned inside out. Everything else—I didn’t even feel. After the surgery, I sat in the room for 20 minutes, pressing a gauze sponge against my eye. No bandage was applied; they prescribed "Tobradex" eye drops and sent me home. In the evening, after the anesthetic wore off, my eyelid swelled up, and there were minor bruises on it; my temperature also rose slightly. By morning, the temperature was gone. All traces disappeared within three days. So, my advice is: don’t be afraid to press firmly on the eye to avoid bruising, don’t be scared of the fever or the swelling increasing. The main thing is to decide on the surgery, overcome your fear, and not worry. Everything will be fine!!!!! By the way, regarding the corticosteroid injection (if the chalazion isn’t advanced), I also had it 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!!!!!

Chalazions keep coming back after surgery. 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 (egg, salt wrapped in cloth)

- Massage your eyelids

- Fasting can also help

- Strengthen your immune system

- Treat gastrointestinal issues

- Keep your living space clean. Dirt, dust, smoke, and pets can make it harder to fight this condition.

I had this same 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 shrank 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 warmer (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 in 2-4 weeks. If a small bump remains after regular warming sessions—don't worry, it will go away on its own over time. To prevent this nuisance from occurring in the future, warm any emerging styes as a preventive measure.

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

Good luck to everyone :)

If ointments don't help, it's necessary to start injections; if the chalazion doesn't dissolve after injections, then surgery is needed. The operation is not complicated, and there are no complications if postoperative recommendations are followed. From my experience, I want to note that removal is the only way to save time and money—after the surgery, the capsule won't reappear in that spot. The operation is painless, only uncomfortable sensations 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 high-end commercial clinics. There was no bruising, and the swelling went down within a day. Good luck to everyone.

It's better to have the surgery; it's painless and afterward, it disappears completely. 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 surgery, there won't be a bruise, but there will be a small swelling that will go away in 2 days.

I was also very scared of the surgery, but it turned out that many of my fears didn't come true.

The surgery itself is generally unpleasant and, in my opinion, still painful. Although I think I was so frightened beforehand that it intensified my sensations. My eye hurt afterward, but not severely. Basically, 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. Now a week has passed, and I've already forgotten about both the surgery and this nuisance. A beautiful, normal eye. (knock on 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 possibility of recurrence. So, bravely fight this ailment and don't be afraid of anything =))
