What causes a chalazion?

The gland involved in the formation of a chalazion is a modified sweat gland that lies within the eyelid. This gland produces oil. When this gland becomes blocked, it can rupture and the inflammation process begins. A chalazion is not a sty. A sty can resemble a chalazion in the sense that it is also a lump in the eyelid. However, a sty involves glands and eyelash hair follicles that are closer to the skin surface of the eyelid. In addition, a sty is usually more painful and looks infected.


What to do if two stys are on the one eyelid?

If you have two styes on the same eyelid, it's important to avoid squeezing or rubbing them as this can spread the infection. Applying a warm compress several times a day can help the styes drain and heal. If the styes do not improve or if you experience vision changes or severe pain, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
