Asked By:Nonalisa in Los Angeles, CA

Hello! Since three months I've been struggling with a chalazion that doesn't go away. My doctor gave me eye drops, antibiotics and yesterday he finally removed it by an small incision, however I still see and feel the bump on my eyelid, will this go away? Or will I need another surgery? Thank you for your time and answers in advance

Answer: The best treatment option for chalazia that will not resolve on its own is a kenalog injection.
