Chalazion Scar Tissue. Will a steroid or Kenalog shot do the trick? (photos)

Chalazia (Styes) start as a red, inflamed area and for many people simply resolve on their own or with warm compresses. However, in some people they remain and persist as a tarsal plate cyst (Lump) on the eyelid.  These are almost never dangerous yet most of my patients do not like the cosmetic appearance.  The best treatment in my hands has always been surgery which is done in the office under local anesthesia and helps the condition resolve much more quickly than simply waiting.  I am not an advocate of Kenalog injections as they may result in skin hypopigmentation (lighter color in the area of injection) are often painful, and are not actually correcting the underlying problem which is a cyst/blocked gland in the eyelid.  I suggest you seek out an experienced eyelid surgeon (Oculoplastic surgeon) to evaluate any further therapies/treatment options.  Best of luck in your search
