Eyelid lumps can be experienced by anyone. Although some bumps in the eyes are not dangerous. However, you should know how to cure eyelid lumps properly, so as not to interfere with daily vision and appearance.
In Indonesia, bumps on the eyelids are more commonly known as bumps (hordeolum). This condition usually occurs due to a bacterial infection that attacks the glands in the eye. Though the bump on the eyelid can also be a kalazion, which is a lump like a cyst that occurs due to a buildup of fluid in the eyelid
How to Cure a Lump on the Eyelid
Here are the steps to cure a lump on the eyelid that you can do at home:Clean the eye area
Basically, the bumps occur because of dirt or foreign matter attached to the eyelids. So, clean the area around the eyelid. Take a clean cotton ball or cloth, then dip it in warm water and clean it. You can do gentle massage while cleaning the area.
Repeat this method at least 3-4 times a day. Make sure you wash your hands first and the cotton ball is clean. Do the same thing with lumps caused by kalazion to prevent the accumulation of dirt in the eye area.
Avoid squeezing bumps
Hold yourself not to squeeze the lump, let alone aiming to expel the fluid in it. This will only make the condition of the lumps in the eyelid worse. In fact, it can worsen the infection and spread germs to the other eye. In addition, it can also cause permanent scars.
Use antibiotic ointment
Apply an antibiotic ointment to the lump caused by a bacterial infection, according to doctor's recommendations. This antibiotic ointment is useful for killing bacteria that cause lumps in the eye and helps relieve discomfort in the area.
How to use it is very easy, you only need to apply a little antibiotic ointment along the inside of the eyelid that has a bump. Do the same thing with the lump caused by kalazion.
Compress with warm water
Warm water will help give a sense of comfort in the eyes. Take a towel, then dip it in warm water. Squeeze, then put the towel on the eyelid that has a lump. Do it 3-4 times a day for 5 minutes. You can also compress using a tea bag that has been dipped in warm water instead of a towel.
