Waking up with a lump on your eyelid could be a ‘chalazion’ – signs and treatment
Is the condition preventable?
To help minimise the risk of this condition occurring (or reoccurring), you are advised to clean your eyelid twice daily to remove grime.
While the development of a chalazion could be a one-off, for some people, they are more prone to recurrent infections.
Instances include those who suffer from blepharitis, rosacea, or eczema.
Blepharitis
The NHS explained: “Blepharitis causes swollen, itchy eyelids” – symptoms include:
- Sore eyelids
- Itchy eyes
- A gritty feeling in the eyes
- Flakes or crusts around the roots of the eyelashes
- Eyelids sticking together in the morning when you wake up.
