ORIGINAL POST

Mole Removal: Eyelid

AlliVuozzo
I had the option of wait and watch or just get the mole removed and be done with it. The mole was on the inside of the eyelid (waterline) and seemed to have gotten a little bigger. So, I opted for removing it. I regret it. The removal affected my oil gland and I got a chalazion. Actually, several. They are ugly and uncomfortable. Tried warm compresses religiously which actually seemed to make them worse. My dr had a good plan but it took steroid injections and then surgery to get things back on track. I was considering blepharoplasty in the future, but I'm very leary of any ocular surgery after this experience. The dry eye has since reversed itself and I hope no further chalazion will pop up now that the infection and the gland is gone.
