A chute is a small lump made of purulent-blooded gelatinous mass that grows on the lower or upper eyelid. The lump is not painful, but due to its hardness and location, it can cause discomfort. Additionally, redness and swelling may appear in the area of the chalazion as a result of infection.
Chasm-lump on the eyelid- is a consequence of chronic inflammation of the thyroid gland, also known as the Meibomian gland (a type of sebaceous gland responsible for maintaining closed eyelids, protection against loss of moisture, tear flow onto the face and disruption of the tear film). As a result of inflammation, the ducts that carry away the secretion produced by the thyroid gland close. The residual mass leads to distension of the gland walls and maintenance or exacerbation of inflammation.
Agradówka is formedthat is a small lump, made of purulent-blooded jelly-like mass, enclosed in a fibrous bag that can grow. The lump is not painful, but due to its hardness and location, it can cause discomfort. Additionally, in its vicinity, as a result of infection, redness and swelling may appear on the upper or lower eyelid.
Gradówka - why does it appear?
There may be many reasons for the appearance ofgradówki . It can be affected by a staphylococcal infection, an overactive meibomian gland (seen in contact lens wearers, for example) or external barley that has not fully healed and tends to come back over and over again. A higher incidence of the disease was also observed in people with rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis, as well as in children with decompensated vision defect.
Gradówka - conservative treatment
Hailcan heal itself. This happens when the lump is absorbed or self-piercing. However, these are sporadic cases. Appropriate treatment can be started at home with compresses and compresses to reduce inflammation. They should be performed several times a day for about 20 minutes (similar to the treatment of barley). For compresses, it is best to:
- green tea
- fresh parsley
- chamomile.
Massages are also recommended - to reduce swelling and trydischarge residual mass. If after about two weeksgradówkadoes not disappear - it is worth consulting a specialist.
Immediate contact with a doctor is also recommended when the sharpness of vision changes or the patient experiences eye pain due tochas . The treatment then consists in rubbing the ointment containing antibiotics and cortisone into the place of the chalazion (about 3-4 times a day the ointment should be applied in a thin layer on the eyelid margins), using drops or oral medications.
Chasm - surgical treatment
When conventional medicine has no effect - the chalazion should be surgically removed. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis (in hospitals and most ophthalmic clinics) under local anesthesia and involves incision of the skin on the inside of the eyelid at the site of the nodule and curettage of the chalazion (removing all its elements with a special scraper to prevent its reconstruction). After the procedure, an antibiotic is applied and a dressing is made to cover the eye.
People who have a tendency to recurring chalazions should regularly rinse their eyelids with a cotton swab moistened with warm water.
