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..
