More than 50% of chalazia resolve with conservative treatment. Warm compresses (do not squeeze) with a wet facecloth, as hot as can be tolerated, can be used to melt the lipid secretions, thereby encouraging resolution of the ductal blockage and facilitating the drainage of sebum. Baby shampoo or commercial lid wipes can be used over the eyelashes to remove debris blocking the ducts opening. Although a chalazion is not an emergency medical condition, an acute and inflamed chalazion may require antibiotics, steroids and drainage.
