Michelle, chalazia are lumps in or along the edge of an eyelid. They may be painful or annoying, but they are rarely serious. Most will go away on their own without treatment. A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid. Chalazia (plural) may look like styes, but they are usually larger and may not be painful. Chalazia may be related to blepharitis, a common problem that causes inflammation of the eyelids.

A chalazion develops when an oil gland in the eyelid becomes blocked. If an internal hordeolum doesn't drain and heal, it can turn into a chalazion. A stye usually starts as a red bump that looks like a pimple along the edge of the eyelid.

A chalazion forms a firm lump or cyst under the skin of the eyelid. Chalazia grow more slowly than styes. If a chalazion gets large enough, it may interfere with vision. The inflammation and swelling may spread to the area surrounding the eye. Chalazia often go away in a few months without treatment. It may be hard to tell the difference between a stye and a chalazion. If there is a hard lump inside the eyelid, the doctor will probably diagnose it as a chalazion.

Home treatment is all that is needed for most chalazia. Apply warm, wet compresses 3 to 6 times a day. This usually helps chalazia heal faster. It may also help open a blocked pore so that it can drain and begin to heal. Use an over-the-counter treatment. Try medicated pads (such as Ocusoft Lid Scrub). Let it open on its own. Do not squeeze or open a chalazion. Don't wear eye makeup or contact lenses until after the stye or chalazion heals. If a stye or chalazion gets very large, the doctor may need to pierce (lance) it so it can drain and heal. Do not try to lance it yourself.

How can you prevent styes and chalazia?
To help prevent styes and chalazia:

Don't rub your eyes. This can irritate your eyes and let in bacteria. If you need to touch your eyes, wash your hands first. Replace eye makeup, especially mascara, at least every 6 months. Bacteria can grow in makeup. Treat any inflammation or infection of the eyelid promptly. If you get chalazia often, wash your eyelids regularly with a little bit of baby shampoo mixed in warm water.
