i had it 3 weeks ago and it was crusty and dry!! flaky too so i thought it was eczema but today it came back after i realised i had used expired sunscreen in the same spots my whole right eyelid and the inner corner of my left eyelid <— left eyelid not as bad and mild
Hi,
I’ve had this bump on my upper eyelid since April 10. It was diagnosed as a chalazion. I’ve been doing warm compresses regularly and was given medication, but it hasn’t reduced much.
It’s not very painful, but still visibly swollen. My doctor has now suggested an injection, and I’m feeling a bit anxious about going ahead with it.
Has anyone here had a similar persistent chalazion?
Did steroid injection help?
Any side effects or risks I should be aware of?
Adding a picture for reference.
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences🙏
Do you guys have any regular habits or things you do to help keep things in check?
Every morning I use a bruder mask for about 10 minutes while I meditate and use ocusoft eye lid scrubbing pads. This mostly helps prevent flare ups or at least lessen the intensity of them, but sometimes if things get bad I’ll do both at night, too.
Curious how other people prevent symptoms and thought it might be helpful info for us to share!
About 9 months ago I started getting to digestive issues that the doctors have now seemingly just classified as Ibs. I’ve had plenty of blood tests and they’ve all come back normal. It was about 2/3 weeks later that I noticed I started seeing rainbow auras round certain lights. About a month and a half after that I got told I had blepharitis and got my first pair of glasses.
Some doctors told me there’s no link between the two but I can’t help shake the feeling that they are related. I’ve never really been ill before apart from having my appendix out like 4 years ago, and then this all within the span of 3 weeks
Has anyone else had something similar happen? Feel like I’m talking to a brick wall most of the time with NHS GPs
This is probably the worst timing for this to happen to me. My anniversary is coming up next week so I'll be going on a date to a nice restaurant that I want to look pretty at and I have vacation coming up that I would also love to experience without a massive eyelid. This popped up two days ago now and I have had the worst pain accompanied with insane swelling. Pictured this morning as soon as I woke up, after I gently wiped my eyes before using a warm compress after waking up, and just now roughly ten minutes after using a compress.
Hi,
My mom has been dealing with this for months. I hear that some people have been helped my washing it with salt water? If anyone does this, what is the best way you can do this without irritating your eye?
Thanks so much
so i had a stye since march 3 and it slowly went away. now i have redness and a really small bump. should i go to the doctor for it? it doesnt hurt or anything but it bothers me that its still red and hasnt fully gone away. is it normal for it to take a month to heal? i already took antibiotics in the beginning and i put erythromycin ointment on it plus the warm compress. idk what to do anymore.
I’ve been on steroids for a while ( bridging therapy as per my ophthalmologist’s rec). It’s been a couple of days of a certain tenderness around the outside part of my eyelids when blinking and upond touch of the lashes. I’ve had cellulitis before, it was also durintna course of steroids. I’m scared shitless. I contacted my ophto, he said keep doing what I’m doing u till we can tell what it fully is.
I have the biggest exam of medical school in two days and I don’t know what to fo.
Hi everyone, just looking for a bit of support to help with my panic. I first got an inverted chalazion on my lower lid in 2023 and it had to be drained. Now I have another one in the exact same location. Got it to go down a little bit with hot compress but it’s stubborn and looking like I’ll need it to be drained again. I’ve really scared myself with doom googling and now I’m convinced that it could be cancer. Do many people suffer with similar issues in the same exact location each time ?
Just got rid of a stye a cm away from this new one. Not fun.
