How to get rid of a lump remaining from a cauterization of a vein?

October 31, 2013
Asked By:Deedawn in Ukiah, CA

I had a prominent vein underneath my eye cauterized a couple of years ago as it sometimes looked like I had a bruised eye. Since then the area appears more puffy and there is a hard lump where the vein once was. The lower eyelid is now also slightly lower on this eye than the other. Is there anything I can do about this without resorting to surgery? Thanks.
