At HHV Clinic, a patient recently presented with a visibly inflamed and painful cyst on the upper eyelid—likely diagnosed as a chalazion or hordeolum (stye). The cyst, seen in the image above, appears as a swollen, reddish bump located near the eyelash line. This kind of condition can be both distressing and uncomfortable, often requiring medical attention if it does not resolve naturally.
Eyelid cysts form when an oil gland, usually the Meibomian gland, becomes blocked, leading to a buildup of fluid or infection. While small chalazia may disappear on their own, larger or painful ones—like in this case—can impair vision or become infected, requiring medical treatment.
At HHV Clinic, the skin specialist carefully examined the area, using sterile gloves to assess the firmness, mobility, and sensitivity of the lesion. The swelling indicated an advanced stage, where the gland may have become severely blocked or infected. In such cases, medical intervention is necessary to prevent further complications.
This case highlights the importance of timely dermatological care. Eyelid cysts can seem minor but may worsen without proper management. HHV Clinic remains committed to delivering expert diagnosis and personalized treatment using safe and effective methods.
If you are experiencing similar symptoms, consult a qualified dermatologist or eye specialist promptly to avoid long-term issues.
