I've had a chalazion for over a year. I had 3 surgeries & there's still a bump. Is this scar tissue and will it go away? (Photo)

It is best to see an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation. This may or may not be a stye/chalazion.  If it is a chronic chalazion, it is very firm by now and needs to be excised. If it is something else, it should be biopsied.

It would be helpful to know what type of physician you are seeing.  Have you seen a general ophthalmologist or are you seeing an oculoplastic surgeon?  In having surgery, was any tissue submitted for histopathology to establish a definitive diagnosis.  While skin cancer is very rare in this location and particularly with someone who appears as young as you do, it is still a concern.  There are many excellent oculoplastic surgeons in the Bay Area.  I recommend seeing one of them.  The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery directory can help you find a well qualified surgeon close to home.

It maybe scar tissue or residual tissue from the chalazion. You might have a small amount of cortizone injected into the "bump" to see if it will reduce or eliminate the bump. Sincerely,
