Listen ....pls dont do any surgery... I have something like that...years ago...they say it's cause by excess oil or something block the passage of oil leading to inflammation something of this nature cant really remembered. But the bottom line is this; i only used original Ampiclox 500mg..recommended by our family doctor..
and within a month or so...I started seeing changes...before I knew it....everything was cleared.... For now stay clear of oily food....

thank you... I'll do as you outlined

Whatever you do, don't follow this advice . .


If you are to go the antibiotics path, please see a pharmacist to recommend one for you. Walk into a pharmacy and ask to see their pharmacist before buying any antibiotics for it.

lol.. I wont

Please, do not go for surgery. Continuous gentle rubbing of shea butter on the affected area day and night will take care of it. Initially it may seem like nothing is happening but do not worry, healing is effecting internally. Just keep rubbing in shea butter it will be alright.

thank you

Chalazion vs. Stye: What Are the Differences?
Chalazion vs. Stye: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

A chalazion and a stye may look similar, but they are not the same. A chalazion is a red bump on the eyelid that develops when there is a blocked oil gland. A stye (also called a hordeolum) develops where your eyelashes start or under your eyelid. Bacterial infections usually cause styes.

A chalazion or a stye is not usually serious. Discover more about the differences between a chalazion and a stye, including symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.


Chalazion vs. Stye
Verywell / Jessica Olah

Symptoms
The bumps caused by chalazia (the plural of chalazion) or styes may both look red and swollen, but there are some differences.

With a stye, symptoms include:1

Crustiness on the eyelid margin
The feeling of something in your eye
Pain in the affected eyelid
A pimple-like appearance
A scratchy feeling in the eye
Sensitivity to light
Swelling that usually goes away after three days
Tearing in the affected eye

A chalazion sometimes may not have any symptoms aside from a hard bump. If other symptoms develop, they may be:1

Blurry vision could happen with a larger chalazion.
Swelling may affect a larger area around the eye.
Chalazion bumps usually grow more slowly and may develop over a few months before they go away if left untreated. The bump is usually firmer than that from a stye.

Causes
Here are the different causes of a chalazion versus a stye.

Chalazion Causes
A chalazion is caused by a block in one of the oil glands in the eyelid. These glands are called Meibomian glands. Meibomian glands help provide moisture to the eye.

Other risk factors for chalazia include:2

Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids)
Rosacea
Seborrheic dermatitis
Tuberculosis
Viral infections
Diabetes, high cholesterol, and other medical problems can raise your risk for chalazia or styes.2

Stye Causes
Most of the time, bacterial infections cause styes. There are two kinds of styes, and they have different infection-linked causes:3

External stye: This type of stye appears at the eyelash base and is usually caused by an infection in the eyelash hair follicle.
Internal stye: This type of stye appears inside the eyelid and is usually caused by an infection in a Meibomian gland from your eyelid.
Inflammation of the eyelids (blepharitis) also can cause a stye. Sometimes, a bump can begin as a stye and then become a chalazion.

Diagnosis
Chalazia and styes do not always require treatment from a healthcare professional. However, if they bother you, you should see an eye doctor.

Both chalazia and styes are diagnosed with an examination of the eyelid area, including the appearance of the eyelashes, the structure of your eyelids, and the texture of the skin near the eyelids.4

This could include the use of bright light to get a closer look at the eyelids to help determine if it is a chalazion, stye, or something else. For instance, the bumps that may appear to be a chalazion or stye could be a type of cancer, including basal cell carcinoma.5


The doctor also may ask about other health conditions that you have, as these could contribute to the development of a stye or chalazion.

Treatment
The treatments for a stye and a chalazion are similar, but not all treatments work for both.

Treatments include the use of:6

Antibiotics: This may be used for an infected stye, but not for a chalazion.
Warm compresses: A warm compress can help promote faster healing. Apply a clean washcloth that has been soaked in hot water to your eyelid three to six times a day for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Or, you can get an eye mask that can be heated.
Over-the-counter solutions: Stye ointment, eyewash products, and medicated pads to clean the eyelids can help treat a stye, but not a chalazion.
Steroid shots: A steroid shot can lower swelling. Your doctor may choose to use a steroid shot if your chalazion is particularly swollen.
Surgery to drain the chalazion or stye: A doctor can drain a chalazion or stye that obscures your vision. Do not try to drain it yourself at home. This could spread infection.
****************
JennyofOldstones also stated this above, Error401. I can confirm that I had chalazion once before. I had to do that simple surgery to remove it. It was not that expensive. Just go to the specialist to get it checked and removed. If you know it's affecting your self confidence,you can get rid of it ASAP. But if you are not bothered, it can takes some years before it finally disappears.

thanks for your input

Error401:
Been there for 2 months and I went to a government hospital where I was diagnosed of External Hordeleum (Chalazion)
I was referred to another Government Teaching Hospital in Osogbo for the surgery.

I just want to know the probable cost of the surgery
And how risky it is! Thank you
P.S - it dosent bother me at all, aside from the bulge

Be applying shear butter (Ori) Frequently. Also use antibiotics medicine.

I had a similar case around 2019.. it wasn't painful but quite embarrassing, there was no opening to pierce through in other to let the pus out so they advised I used antibiotics to dry it from the inside.
It worked but the thing is the lump will reduce over time, but not immediately.
As of this moment,[color=#006600][/color] I still have the lump slightly on my left eye lid..

I use to have this back in the days until someone asked me to buy that local black eye togil that Yoruba people sells. It treats some eyes problem even in children. Since I boiled, grounded and applied it, it has been gone forever. Those doctors just wan chop your money

Not too risky if it's chalazion. The will make a tiny incision under local anaesthesia to remove the excessive fats and oils and you should be up and going.
Perhaps a small prescription of prophylactic antibiotics post op.
Do not hearken to advices asking you to burst or take antibiotics without prescription.

Thank you

It happens to stingy people�

Stop closing your eyes when sleeping..it will go..

When the eyes are open for long it won't have space to survive..

Error401:
thank you sir

you can use it with chlorphenamine tablet. This is what i used and it works my own is down of my eyes but u wait long make it bigger

It might sound funny but it works, get a cotton bud. Apply a drop of water on it. Use the bud to get cerumen from your ear and apply it on the swollen part. It will vanish. It works for me. May be it will help you too.
Take care

Wanbissaka:
which kind advice is this?

Turnitin friendly advice

Use Shea butter, Yoruba people call it Ori

I guess google did not explain that hordeolum is of two types: internal and external. The external is also known as stye while the internal is called chalazion.
Majority of chalazion will regress on its own.
You don't need to abuse antibiotics.
Warm compress and pain killers(if the need arise) are the most advocated first line mgt measures.
The surgery is simple (done under L.A) and safe. Maximum of 20 minutes.

Sharrpguy:




A hordeolum is usually caused by a bacterial staph infection and results in pain, swelling, and redness. A hordeolum looks like a pus-filled lump or pimple at the edge of the eyelid.

Treatment
In most cases, a stye will go away on its own, but your eye doctor may recommend treatment, including:

Warm compresses—place a warm, wet cloth on your eyelid for 5 to 10 minutes several times a day, as instructed by a doctor of optometry.
Prescribed antibiotic ointments or drops that have been approved for use in the eye.
Never squeeze the stye.
Do not wear eye makeup until the infection has healed.
Your eye doctor may recommend that you discontinue contact lens wear until the infection has healed.


N.B: Dubbed from Google.

Dont know if my advise will help or if you can withstand the slight pain.....Just try to drag out the eyelashes around or close to that infection and it will disappear!
i simply find the eyelashes that is close to it and drag....might be slightly painful but its worth a try!

I won't even blame you, because you're living in an unorganized country where unqualified people can freely and confidently issue out medical advice without anyone arresting them.

Say no to Self medication, OP kindly consult your optician.

Nope! Not at all, it's above the expertise of opticians,they only diagnose and prescribe glass for refractive errors.
I think what you meant was opthalmologist or optometrists
