What are your recommendations for eyelid that hurts & is droopy after chalazions? (Photos)

Question

I’ve had a history of 2 Chalazions on the past year. The first was treated by an ocuplastic surgeon (incision and drainage on underside of left lid). I developed a notch as a result of scarring. The second Chalazion was treated conservatively using heat, Dexamethasone injections and finally 5fu. It did not respond. Finally the doctor suggested I have a full thickness biopsy to rule out SCC. It has been 4 months and my eyelid really hurts. I’ve moved away from that state.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
