CHALAZION!

Hi, i was wondering if rubbing a gold ring on my chalazion will do any good? I have noticed a small difference in it. It appears flatter now.

Also, I have been using erythromycin every night and in the mornings i wake up with a tiny bit of light colored discharge from the inner corner of my eye. I was wondering if that discharge means that it is drainage from my chalazion?

Thank you. One last question...is there an amount of time that i can use the erythromycin or can i use it constantly?? I have been using it for a couple of months already. Since it is an antibiotic, i was wondering if there are any side effects for using it a  long time.

Use the search feature and the archives to read about treating chalazions. Erythromycin will work a lot better than your golden ring.

Yes chalazia often drain.
