Home Remedies for Eyelid Cysts (Chalazions)

1. Warm Compress

A warm compress is one of the best remedies for eyelid cysts. The heat helps increase blood circulation to the area and promotes drainage of the gland. It also helps reduce pain and swelling.

• Soak a soft cloth in hot water (clean and sterilized water) and wring out the excess.
• Hold this warm, moist cloth on your closed eyelid for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Repeat 3 to 4 times a day for 2 weeks.

You can also try facial steaming.

2. Massage

Gently massaging the affected eyelid can help accelerate the process of draining. This will promote quick healing.

• Wash your hands with soap and water.
• Apply a warm compress on your closed eyelid for 5 minutes.
• Using your fingers, gently massage the area in the upward direction.
• Massage for 2 to 3 minutes a few times daily.
