A chalazion is actually a formation of cyst in the eyelid. This cyst is mainly caused on the upper eyelid due to swelling of the meibomian gland. This eye condition is not a consequence of any bacterial or viral infection; rather it is caused as a consequence of trapped oil secretions. These cysts on the upper eyelid often go away with the passage of time but yet it's better to have some treatment for reliving the symptoms of chalazion.
There are many effective home remedies for reducing inflammation and reliving pain caused by chalazion. Following are some of the most effective remedies for chalazion:
- Try application of warm compress for approximately 15 minutes. Continue using this compress at regular intervals of time throughout the day.
- Don't try to squeeze, scratch or rub the chalazion.
- You can try some over the counter antiseptic drops for your eye.
- Wash your hands frequently to avoid contact of cyst with germs.
- You can constantly wash your eyes with rosewater at regular intervals of time.
