What Causes Mild Swelling And Redness On Upper Eye Lid After Chalazion Removal?
Had a chalazion removed on my upper eyelid the beginning of Oct. -this weekend my lid appeared to be slightly swollen and a little red and when I rub my finger over it I can still feel a little lump, what can or should I do because I do not want to have it cut again!
I have gone through your query and can understand..
As per your complain Chalazion is an eyelid nodule and commonly occurs due to obliteration of sebaceous gland and leads to formation of a small nodule over the eyelid.. As you have got it removed and feels a lump again and als redness it can be a recurring case or obliteration of another sebaceous gland and you can consult a general surgeon or an Ophthalmologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to put steroid eye drops and do warm compresses over the nodule.. You can also do gentle massage over it.. Wash your eyes frequently with luke warm water and maintain a good hygiene..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
