A chalazion is sometimes the aftereffect of a sty. It is less tender but lasts longer. Natural oils from the eyelid's oil glands must drain through ducts out to the eyelashes. If debris blocks this normal drainage, it may cause a sty or chalazion. Sometimes, this debris accumulates because of a condition called blepharitis, a long-standing inflammation of the edges of the eyelids, with redness, thickening and scales and crusts.
There are external styes and internal styes. An external stye is an infection of the apocrine sweat glands of Moll, or the sebaceous glands of Zeis, and form on the outside of the lids. An infection of the meibomian sebaceous glands, which line the inside of the eyelids, are called internal styes. chalazion is a slow growing cyst of the eyelid that's caused by blockage and swelling of an oil gland. Chalazion treatment consist of a warm compress for 10 to 15 minutes, five times a day, to promote drainage of the clogged gland and reduce swelling.
