Clinical features 
Warm compresses are the cornerstone of treatment, helping to soften the lesion, bring pus to the surface and encourage spontaneous drainage. A clean face cloth soaked in warm (not hot) water should be applied to the closed eyelid for 2–5 minutes, twice daily during the active phase.

After resolution, continuing warm compresses once daily may help prevent recurrence.2 Choosing Wisely – a look at prescribing cascades
