peer agreement (net): +5chalazion Explanation: Caption: Picture 1. This woman has an acute sty on her lower eyelid and a chalazion on her upper eyelid. A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a gland within the skin. Typically this lump grows over days to weeks and is occasionally red, warm, or painful. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-12-25 21:18:54 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A chalazion is not a sty. A sty can resemble a chalazion in the sense that it is also a lump in the eyelid. However, a sty involves glands and eyelash hair follicles that are closer to the skin surface of the eyelid. In addition, a sty is usually more painful and looks infected. (also from www.emedicine.com.) Reference: http://www.emedicine.com/aaem/topic423.htm |
