Suggest Remedies For Chalazions On Eyelids
I m desperate for a solution. I have had two surgeries to remove chalazions; one recurring on upper eyelid, another on the bottom. The bottom one is still there even after the surgery and in the last week a new one has formed on upper eyelid in a different place.
I take very good care of eyes; no make up, reduced lense wear to bare necessity, and i clean them twice a day with warm water. I have just ordered a lid scrub and started taking flax seed oil.I am also on doxyxcyline.
Any ideas what could be wrong? I feel completely healthy apart from this problem but could it be an underlying disease? Thank you!

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having multiple and recurring chalazion.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops, hot compression. The chalazion swellings can be treated by use of intralesional triamcinolone injections or by incision and curettage.
Along with the treatment for chalazion the underlying cause need to be found out and treated accordingly.
The common causes are blepharitis, uncorrected refractive error and systemic conditions like diabetes...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
