Asked By:mtt1997 in Long Beach, CA

So I had a chalazion in my inner corner of my eye for a year finally got it lanced out the doctor said there wasn't much puss at all more scar tissue damage was in there. But it's been 5 months since I got it lanced out and it's still swollen and red I've gone back to 2 different doctors and they say it's damaged tissue but I also have a whitehead now on the outside of my eyelid and want to get the redness away and swelling. Who should I see? Plastic surgeon?
