How to prevent an eyelid scar from external chalazion incision? (Photo)

May 9, 2015
Asked By:vanillabudz in Thailand, TH

I got an incision for my one-month-old chalazion yesterday not concerning the doctor will cut it open from outside.. Now i'm lefted with a small depressed mark on my upper lid :( About the chalazion, doctor said there were no pus in it (that it had formed a nodule) and advice steroid injection next time.. But now my most concern is the scar, I don't want to have scar from this excision. What should I do to prevent it? Thank you..
