Hello,
Chalazion is due to obstruction and inflammation of the oil glands of the eyelids. If it is recurrent then surgical excision is the best option.
Since you're not able to afforded it I would advise you to apply warm compression over the eyelid.
This increases circulation of the inflamed area and promote healing.
