Hi everyone – I thought I would get on here and just see if anybody has found any remedies but my husband has been dealing with painful metatarsus in the ball of his foot for almost a year – we’ve tried all the shoes and I’ve had him on vitamin D, curcumin and he also has consistently blocked oil ducks in his eyelids. I believe it’s called a chalazion – we have been putting tea tree oil on them but it seems to go back-and-forth. Does anybody have any remedies or know anything about this? Thank you for any help!

Could he possibly have blocked meibomian glands in the eyelids? Dry eye? Get Occusoft tea tree wipes at Walmart or Amazon. Use a clean side on each eyelid, keeping the eyes closed tight as it stings. There is a treatment for this to open up the clogged glands. Can’t remember the name. Drs. Smith and Hooten in Tyler, TX use it. It is helpful.
