Is It Safe To Apply Eye Makeup After Removal Of A Chalazion From The Upper Eyelid?
Hi, I recently had an upper lid chalazion removed a week ago and my doctor never told me when I could wear contacts and makeup again. My eyelid isnt bruised or scabbed over anymore and it is still a little risen. I am trying to wear contacts right now and I dont feel that there is any discomfort. Can I wear makeup too?

Hi,
Wait for some time and get it checked again by eye doctor. After check up if the doctor approves then you can use contact lens. By using make up there is more risk of getting infection so avoid it. For use of make up you get approval then you can use. But sterility should be ensured.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
