chalazionille

Chalazionille, also known as chalazion, is a small, firm, and painful lump that forms on the eyelid. It is typically caused by an infection or inflammation of the meibomian glands, which are located near the base of the eyelashes. These glands produce an oily substance called meibum that helps keep the eye lubricated. When the meibomian glands become blocked or infected, they can swell and form a chalazion.

Chalazionille can occur in one or both eyes and may be more common in older adults. The lump is usually painless but can become tender and swollen over time. It is often described as a small, red bump that feels like a pea or a grain of rice. The condition is usually not serious and can be treated at home with warm compresses, gentle massage, and over-the-counter eye drops. In some cases, a healthcare professional may prescribe oral antibiotics or other medications to help resolve the infection.

If the chalazion does not improve with home treatment or if it becomes severely swollen or painful, it may require medical intervention. This can include the use of warm compresses, massage, or, in severe cases, surgical removal of the affected gland. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Prevention of chalazionille involves maintaining good hygiene around the eyes, avoiding rubbing the eyes, and using gentle eye makeup. If you suspect you have a chalazion, it is best to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
