I have scar tissue following chalazion removal. What are the options?

Asked By:anon33151

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.
