Is this chalazion scar tissue or something else? Will it fade away on its own? It has been 2 months (Photo)

Question

In August, I got stye on the upper left eye. I went to doctor. Few days later my lower eyelid developed a bump but didn't hurt, doctor said it is chalazion, it will take time to heal. In few days that bump in the lower eyelid was painful. Doctor gave me antibiotics andT oradex ointment. Few days later it formed like a pus and broke, I tried to take out the blood and liquid inside. As time went by the bump got smaller but still leaving me like a scar tissue or something else that I should be concerned?

It is too close the eyelid margin to manage with surgery. So the best option is to inject the area that is hard with kenalog. This will resolve the remaining inflammation. If you do nothing at this point, it is possible that you will have a chronic nodule in the eyelid as you do now. As the ophthalmologist to inject this with kenalog. If they are uncomfortable doing this, find another ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon.
