Can a kenalog or steroid injection help remove this chalazion tissue from my eye? Have had it since Feb 2023 (Photo)

Reliable594521Jun 25, 2024
I had a really large stye on the infected eye back in February of 2023 that really just never went away. I stopped to mind it and tried to ignore it on my eyelid. Overtime, it went down, got a chalazion like feature, and started to slowly mask away into my eyelid, looking normal again. Last night, the gland right next to my original stye, started to inflame. I noticed this immediately as my eye started to look red again and started to feel a small bump growing. Currently using Avenova Spray.

It may be possible to have surgery, fillers or Botox, but recognize that any of these could potentially make your n...
