Chalazion Treatment

Self-Care at Home

  • Warm compresses may be helpful. Hold a warm, wet towel on the eyelid for five to 10 minutes, four times a day, to reduce swelling and promote drainage of the gland. Although the towel and the water should be clean, they need not be sterile.


  • Lightly massage the area several times a day.


  • Do not "pop" or scratch the chalazion.
