Chalazian (Eyelid Pimples / Growths)   

————————————————–       

Have you ever had a pimple grow in your eyelid? The common medical term for this malady is chalazian.

If the pimple becomes large, it starts to interfere with your vision and will lead you to the doctors office.

The physician will perform a simple procedure to remove the pimple by putting a couple of drops in your eye to freeze it temporarily and then flipping the lid upside down, making an incision in it and cleaning out the pimple. A patch is then placed over the eye and after a day or two you remove it and clean up around your eye. An antibiotic is also prescribed.

This procedure does work however every time a pimple forms you must revisit the doctors office to have the procedure done.         

Is there an alternative? Yes.

Trial by Pimple

——————–     

Do you have the pimple remover that uses a battery such as the one made by IGIA? If you do or have a similar device, then here is an alternative you can try.

Turn on the device to medium strength and place the metal tip on the outside of the eyelid where the pimple bulges. Use it 4 or 5 times holding it for 15 – 30 seconds each time on different positions of the bulge. Be sure not to press too hard. As long as you feel the electric pulse twinging the pimple that is sufficient.

When done, take an ice pack and place it over your entire eyelid. Leave it there for about 5-10 minutes.

You will need to repeat this procedure twice a day over a couple of weeks. If the bulge is too large, it may not work however you should give it a try. It may save you a trip to the doctors office.
