What causes chalazion, and how can it be treated naturally? - #14633
A few weeks ago, I noticed a small lump on my eyelid that wasn’t painful but felt firm to the touch. At first, I thought it was a stye, but it never became red or sore. After looking it up, I found out it might be a chalazion. What exactly causes a chalazion, and how is it different from a stye? I read that it forms when an oil gland in the eyelid gets blocked, but why does that happen? Are certain people more prone to developing chalazions? What are the best ways to treat a chalazion? I saw that warm compresses can help, but do they always work, or do some cases require medical treatment? Also, are there Ayurvedic remedies like herbal washes or oils that help reduce the swelling faster? If anyone has had a chalazion before, how long did it take to go away? Did you need surgery, or did it heal naturally? Also, how can I prevent getting another chalazion in the future?
