Around 3 months ago I got 2 huge painful styes on my eyes that have now turned into chalazions (from what I am told). Initially I was prescribed keflex and tobramyacin drops and was doing hot compresses religiously. Im still doing hot compress 1x or 2x a day followed by digital massage but this seems to irritate them. Th photos are after heat and massage. I was referred to ophthalmologist who wants to surgically drain them. I would like to try Kenalog first. Would this be a good idea?
Chalizion treatment. Skin turned white instantly (I am very light-skinned). Why did it happen? Can it be removed (it was injected less than 12 hours ago and still floats under different parts of the lid) or anything be done to avoid possible atrophy? Will white spot be permanent?
I have a chalazion that I've had for 8 months and another more recent chalazion removed 3 weeks ago. The swelling has dissipated but there is scar tissue on my upper eyelid from the older chalazion. It's not that noticeable but the left side of my eyelid is thicker. It's also uncomfortable and I can definitely feel it. I have dark skin is a kenlog injection still a possibility? Will tobradex drops help with the inflammation? I really want to move on from this.
Been to four doctors in the past 6 months. None will remove simple tiny chalzion keep refering me out to other docs. last doc said Kenelog shot I was told is too risky for my age , I am 21. Warm compress = unrespondant, chalzion is hard cyst now. 5 months in treatment of: neomycin 3 times a day and taking 2 100mg tabs of ic doxycycline. Willing incision cause more damage? I am going to thailand and india on the 20th of January. What is my best option. What are the odds of it never going away?
I had a Chalazion on my upper left eye lid for about 6 months. I had an excision done in June, the size of the bump as of today has only gone down very slightly. The excision was the full flip the eyelid inside out, cut it open and drain. A lot of fluid came out. The doctor said the scare tissue may take a few weeks to dissipate. Will getting a kenalog or steroid shot help this bump I still have? I really do not want to have to go through another excision. Please help thank you!
So far, I've been to one ophthalmologist who recommended surgery. Based on some research, it looks like many times surgery is recommended because it's more profitable. I'm wondering if a Kenalog injection is what I need instead? I'm trying to leave surgery as last resort. Mainly because I don't want to be two weeks without exercise! Thanks four help/feedback
Can anyone give a rough estimate/price range for chalazion removal or kenalog/steroid injection, without insurance? I live in Los Angeles and my doctor/insurance wont provide treatment or removal because they said my lumps arent big enough. Ive had the large one on my lower eyelid for 8 months, and smaller ones on my upper lids for the past year and a half. I want to remove the one on the lower lid the most. Would an oculoplastic surgeon be able to treat me? Is the size an issue? Thanks!
I am 40 years old have been dealing with malar bags for over a year. My board certified plastic surgeon has injected Kenalog and Restalyne and only very small improvement achieved. He addressed they are difficult to treat. What are the treatment options that can completely solve this problem? Thank you.
Developed eyelid infection in May. First ophtho prescribed ocuflox; possibly allergic. Swelling resolved slowly; had grape side lump on eyelid. Lump decreased to 1/3 of size; still sizeable and firm after 3 mos. Consulted with ophtho and got it drained. 3 days later, lump looked bigger than before. Ophtho told me to give it 2 wks for swelling to resolve, but no cigar. A month later, new (renowned) ophtho drained cyst. 3 days later, cyst was just about flat, but started to grow again. Help!
