Will Chalazion Go Away on Its Own?

A chalazion will often go away without treatment in a month or so. The first treatment is to place warm compresses over the eyelid for 10 to 15 minutes at least four times a day. Use lukewarm water (no hotter than you can leave your hand in comfortably).

What happens if a chalazion is left untreated?

If left untreated, most chalazion should eventually heal by themselves, but this may take many months and could cause infections, discomfort and affect your child's vision during this time.

How long do Chalazions last?

With proper home management, a chalazion should heal in a week. If left untreated, it can take four to six weeks for the chalazion to heal.
