I've had chalazion on my upper eyelid for 6 months long I think? (Photo)

Question

When we went to a doctor, she said i have to undergo surgery because it is already a cyst. But it was too expensive so we seek advice to others if what can be the other possible way to treat chalazion. So we seek an advice to others for treating chahalazion. It helped but it is still recognizable. Now, my question is, is there other way possible of getting rid of this lump on my eye aside from undergoing surgery? Is there any ointment or treatment that can possible to disappear my chalazion? Thank you.

Thank you for the question. Often the treatment of Chalazion is hot compresses for 1 hour per day and topical with oral antibiotics. If this is not successful, injecting Kenelog is often great at getting rid of Chalazion. Surgical incision and drainage should be a last resort. See an experienced board certified Oculoplastic Surgeon for evaluation and treatment. Good luck.

Ask your ophthalmologist if this option might be right for you.  It will certainly be less expensive than surgery.  To be honest it is often a better option as well.
