Would steroid injections help reduce the appearance of 3 year old upper eyelid scar caused by blepharitis?

minombreesaleha
Three years ago, I had blepharitis on my right eye in the inner corner of my upper eyelid, it swelled to the point it felt like it was going to burst. Eventually the infection calmed down and it was healing but because the swelling got so bad it left a small bump on my inner corner. Even though it’s healed the scar gives it a swollen look. And it can be tender to touch as well. I’m hoping steroid shots or silicone can help, surgery isn’t an option at the moment.
