The disease can cover both one and both centuries at once. In this case, the child also has reddening and puffiness of the area around the eye. Exactly the same signs characterize the beginning barley, but after breaking through, barley disappears without a trace, while haljazion hardens and resembles a tight capsule. Halyazion is manifested by the convexity of the eyelid, if it is close to the outer surface of the eyelid, or it can be detected by twisting the eyelid.
The reasons for the formation of chalazion in children are most often:
- weakened immunity;
- frequent colds;
- diabetes;
- oily skin.
