To quickly break out the abscess : at the very beginning of the disease, when only a tingling sensation appears on the edge of the eyelid, you need to find the most painful point and moisten it three to five times a day with 70 percent alcohol orcologne.

For this you can use a glass rod, the end of which is tightly wound with cotton. In parallel, use dry heat. The easiest way to do this is to boil the hard-boiled egg, wrap it with a clean handkerchief, apply the eyeball to the eyelid. Or pour in a small bottle of hot water, wrap and use it as a mini hot water bottle on the eye. Try not to heat the eyeball itself, if possible.

Solar baths : when barley appears, or the beginning of local local swelling of the eyelid, sunbathe between 10-11 o'clock in the afternoon every 15-20 minutes.

After , : after opening the barley 2 times a day, 20% albucidic ointment( sulfacil sodium), 1% synthomycin emulsion, 1% tetracycline ointment, 1% hydrocortisone emulsion, 1%1% yellow mercury ointment.

Compress warming not possible !It is not recommended to apply moist warming compress with barley, as wetting the skin leads to its maceration and penetration of the infection into the holes of the excretory ducts of other sebaceous glands, which can give a recurring course of inflammation.

Antibiotics .If the disease is accompanied by an increase in temperature, a general malaise, it is necessary to use sulfonamide preparations 1.0 g 4 times a day, or even better, tetracycline antibiotics( biomycin 100,000 units 4-6 times a day, tetracycline or terramycin 0.25g 3-4 times a day).
