Chalazion, also known as a chalazion cyst in Western medicine, is a chronic inflammatory granuloma of the lid gland caused by obstruction of the outlet of the lid gland and retention of secretions, which is known in Chinese medicine as a nucleus of phlegm. It is a common ophthalmologic condition that can affect both children and adults, with a high prevalence in adolescents. The disease is slow to develop and is usually not felt, but is often detected by accidental finger pressure on the eyelid. The skin of the eyelid is elevated and hard nodules are palpable, soft, varying in size from large cherries to small green beans, with clear borders, no adhesions to the skin, no pain, and no itching. Individual small nodules can be absorbed on their own, while most are difficult to absorb, usually nodules remain unchanged for a long time or grow gradually, or some can break down on their own and form granulation tissue on the conjunctival surface after exuding gel-like contents. When you get a chalazion, there is no need to panic and think about it, you should go to the hospital and take care of it under the guidance of your doctor, not on your own. For small and asymptomatic can not be treated, more observation, individual can be absorbed and dissipated by themselves. When the disease first starts, local hot and wet compresses, compresses can be applied to the eyelid skin with Vaseline or antibiotic eye ointment, a thin layer, and then several layers of sterilized towels or gauze placed in boiling water, wet, and then wrung out, in order not to burn the skin, placed on the affected eye, and maintain the temperature, each time about 20 minutes, three times a day. You can also do physical therapy, or local massage, 3 times a day, 15-20 minutes each time, to promote the smooth flow of Qi and blood, conducive to the dispersion of nodules. The skin of the affected area can be coated with vinegar in the form of a paste with a little bit of bingshang to promote the flow of qi and phlegm and disperse the knots. When the skin of the eyelid is slightly red, or the local redness and pain, or even pus, the affected eye is prohibited to do chalazion incision and scraping, and can be made wet and hot compresses to promote its dissipation. Antibiotic eye drops, such as 0.3% haloperidol eye drops and 0.25% chloramphenicol eye drops, should be applied 3 to 4 times a day, 1 to 2 drops each time, and antibiotic eye ointment should be applied before going to bed. If it has become pus, go to the hospital for incision and drainage of pus.
