Can this lump on my eyelid be surgically removed? (Photos)

Asked By:pavilion29 in Hope, New York

This lump appeared in 2020 on my left inner eyelid. The crazy thing is it is only visible when I close my eyes. Either way I don't like it and want it gone. In 2021, I went to an eye doctor and the visit felt rushed and the doctor wasn't very sympathetic. The Dr. said it is a chalazion but I'm not sure. I did warm compresses 2x/day for months and it didn't go away. It has been 2 years, can this be surgically removed? does it appear to be a chalazion?
