Halyazion is a chronic disease in which inflammation of the edge of the eyelid occurs next to the meibomian gland, located 2 mm from the line of eyelash growth.

How to cure haljazion without surgery?
Non-surgical treatment of haljazion can be carried out by both folk and medical means. The problem of treating haljazion is that the causes that cause the disease are not fully established, and in different cases they can differ from each other. For example, some physicians suggest that halyazion causes the same bacteria that provoke barley, and hence bacteriological treatment follows. Others believe that halyazion takes place in cancer processes, and this suggests a completely different treatment than antibacterial.
Treating haljazion with folk remedies
Before you try to cure halyazion at home, it is advisable to make sure that it is not barley, as these diseases have an external similarity.
At the time when the first symptoms of haljazion arose - burning, swelling, redness, and the elevation with liquid contents did not yet form, a hot compress should be done. If it is done with barley, when pus is formed, it will lead to a deplorable result. That is why it is important to conduct heat procedures at the initial stage and have the conviction that there was not barley .
For hot compress, a boiled chicken egg is suitable. It must be wrapped around with a clean cloth and applied for 15 minutes to the affected area. If the pathogen has become a bacterial infection, heat will help prevent the development of halazion.
A hot egg can be replaced with a bag of hot salt, which is heated in the oven, and then covered in cloth and applied to the eye. If you do not have time to prepare these ingredients, then you can take a few pieces of clean cloth, fold them several times, and iron it well to heat. The fabric needs to be replaced as it cools.
At the initial stage of haljazion, massage of the affected area with warm hands is shown.
