Eyelid Bumps & Homecare
To avoid spreading the infection, it's crucial for individuals to resist the urge to rub or scratch an itchy eyelid bump. Using a warm compress four to six times a day can help relieve symptoms.3‘Chalazion.’ AOA.org, www.aoa.org/healthy-eyes/eye-and-vision-conditions/chalazion
Holding the compress over the eye for ten minutes can help bring the pus to the surface, helping to drain the stye and unblock the oil glands in the eyelid. The same care applies to styes and chalazion. No home care is required for xanthelasma.
