Sprouts on right upper lower eyelid
Hi
I developed a big sprout on right upper eyelid past 3 weeks while being at home during lockdown.
And then past 2 days there is a small sprout inside lower eyelid. Attaching the snapshot for reference.
Thanks
This looks like a chalazion. chalazion is a swelling due to blockage of secretion of very small glands present in eye lids having openings on lid margins.
Next Steps
Give hot compresses to lids with warm handkerchief thrice a day for 1 minute every time for 7 days. You can use iron to warm the handkerchief. Maintain hand hygiene. Avoid touching eyes. Avoid fatty foods, potatoes and rice. Wear glasses if you have refractive power.
Health Tips
In case of pain in swellings, visit an ophthalmologist, you may need antibiotics in such a case. Mostly these are harmless and self resolving but may take weeks to months to resolve completely. Rarely a incision and drainage may have to be done if doesn’t resolve or gives bad cosmetic appearance.
