Many people confuse styes with Chalazia.
However, some blockages causing Chalazia do not clear up on their own.
This will depend on the location, size, and number of Chalazia present.
Most Chalazia go away on their own within a month or so without medical treatment.
Chalazia occur more frequently in adults than in children(especially
in adults between the ages of 30 and 50).
Although Chalazia can cause irritation and discomfort, they
are usually harmless and clear up on their own within a few weeks.
Many Chalazia drain, resolving on their own,
especially if you facilitate the process with periodic warm compresses and gentle massage of the eyelid.
The difference is that Chalazia develop under the skin and never appear with a head,
while styes look like a pimple on the eyelid.
The two types of bumps are similar, but Chalazia develop under the skin and never appear with a head,
while styes look like a pimple on the eyelid.
