((( thanks ))) bee in texas 75154 ___________________________ What Is A Chalazion? The term chalazion (pronounced ch-la ze-on) is derived from the Greek word meaning small lump. It refers to a cystic swelling with chronic inflammation in an eyelid. A gradual enlargement can be felt near the margin of the lid due to the swelling in one of the eyelid oil glands (meibomian). Occasionally swelling of the entire eyelid may occur suddenly.This condition is not to be confused with a " stye " which is aninfection of a lash gland. When the chalazion is small and without symptoms,it may disappear on its own. More often it remains, and with increased size,may cause blurred vision by distorting the shape of the eye. Ordinarily,the inflammation is a reaction to the trapped oil secretions and is not caused by bacteria, although it may become secondarily infected by bacteria. Chalazions tend to " point " toward the inside of the eyelid. How Are Chalazions treated? Treatment may involve any one or combinations of the following: l) Antibiotic and/or steroid drops or injections. 2) Warm compresses, massage or expression of the glandular secretions. 3) Surgical incision or excision. Treatment is usually curative, although certain individuals are prone to recurrence. Recurrences at the same place may require a biopsy with pathological confirmation to make certain that a more serious problem does not exist.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 I know sometimes warm wet compresses several times a day for like 15-20 minutes can help, however, I think there is a homoeopathic remedy that will help, but I don't know what it is, maybe someone here on the list will know.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 I have not had any experience with this type of problem, but I was tought that any type of cyst would respond to a hot castor oil compress. Put enough castor oil on a piece of folded flannel to soak it, but not so much that it drips. Heat it in the oven (I prefer *not to use a microwave) until it is as warm as can be tolerated without burning the skin. apply to the affected area, cover with plastic and a thick towel to keep the heat in. You may need to use a heating pad to keep the heat in as in needs to stay warm for 30 minutes. This must be done every day until the affliction is gone, or for 30 days, then a 3 day respite and another 30 days of treatment. Compresses of warm lemon verbena infusion will be analgesic and help reduce swelling and might draw some of the oil out of the gland. (this I *do have experience with) Hope this helps some.
