Can a chalazion go away on its own?

February 18, 2013
Asked By:cherryann

i had one on my right upper eye lid, it has been a week. I've undergone three I&C for chalazion for my left eye so I know how it works, but this time, I don't want to have another one if it will be gone on its own. I have chalazion in my upper eye lid. I just treat it warm compress and hopes it will be gone on its own since i do not want to undergo another I&C. I also have dry eyes, will using artificial tears have an effect on my chalazion now? Do you think it's okay to use it while i have chalazion?
