Probably yes:topical: These are usually occur when the glands that secrete oil to keep your eyes lubricated (meiobian) glands are plugged. If open & draining warm compresses may well manage the issue. If there is redness, swelling, heat or you have fever you will need to see your doc. To prevent use lid scrubs 2x/day (1 cap baby shampoo in 20 caps sterile water; with q-tip scrub along eyelashes) religiously& always!

Not noiw: Try some warm compresses to eyelids 10 minutes 3 times a day. With multiple chalazia, you may have ocular rosacea.
