A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stye and chalazion: Most styes and chalazions are treated with a combination of hot compresses twice a day and topical antibiotic, such as Bacitracin ophthalmic ointment. This treatment often achieves resolution of the stye/chalazion in 3-4 weeks. If the chalazion or stye grows bigger, it may need to be drained. If it is only a tiny knot, compresses alone may keep it controlled.
