Lannig Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm no doctor but I've had someting that looks really this several times: Chalazion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalazion The fact that they advise hot compresses comforts me in the idea because that's what the doctor told me to use . To quote the Wikepedia page, it softens the hardened oil that is occluding the duct. It tends to recur over and over, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnatong Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 From the poor, badly focused pictures it appears to be a hordeolum (stye) http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/stye/Pages/introduction.aspx Next time it occurs take the child to see an Ophthalmic Surgeon who will likely recommend a warm compress as treatment !

rocketboybkk Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Back in the 70's they were very common although I didn't suffer My neighbours did & they had to cover their head over a bowl of boiling water with something in it & steam It's all to do with cleanliness I suggest washing properly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Picking his nose then rubbing his eye probably...buy him a bar of soap and make sure he uses it diligently...maybe a pair of boxing gloves and some tissues too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fairly simple 30 minute procedure. Not just a question of cleanliness as some have suggested. Often due to a blocked eye lash duct.

Aussie69 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yep it's either one of these. If the lump is 'in' the eyelid then it's chalazion, if it's on the surface or tip then likely a stye. Because of there irritating nature it causes you to rub you eyes more which then makes the eyes all red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 My Thai GF had a sty similar to the one pictured. I took her to Rutnin Eye Inst. on Asok in Bangkok and they suggested trying hot compresses first before resorting to surgery. The compresses worked and it was gone in a little more than a week. She started to get another one about 3 years later but we caught it quickly using the hot compresses as before and it was gone in a few days.

JDGRUEN Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 The photo of the underside/inside of the eyelid would be quite revealing for diagnosis. Along with the hot/warm compresses, I would suggest a ophthalmic antibiotic and saline made for contact lenses to flush the drainage out. Both are inexpensive and available at most pharmacies. The antibiotic could help prevent a second infection from occurring in a short time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I had a sty on my eye lid in the 10th grade. It was painful and unsightly. I'll never forget the sound of that thing popping when I lifted my eye lid to look at it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Since you were told it was "oil", it is likely a chelazion rather than a stye See http://www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/chalazion-stye-treatment Prevention = keeping hands and eyelids clean. Gently cleansing the eyelid with baby shampoo before going to bed each night can helps. With a 7 year old it is hard as the child needs to avoid touching the eyelid with unwashed hands.

momtaz Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thank you so much for the informative info guys,, I will try to find some more picts, even when he was little boy 4-5 years ago, is not about cleaning, his younger bro 4 and half, but never happened this to him, the common thing as some of you mentioned is that happening frequently, we took him few times to the hospital, they just suggest hot compress ..
