When Can I Use Cosmetics On The Eye After Chalazion?

I had a chalazion. I ve used antibiotic drops with steroids that a doctor prescribed for three weeks and then an antibiotic drop that is like a gel for the last 5 days. The bump is gone but there is still some slight swelling on the upper eye lid. When can I start wearing cosmetics again

Hello
It seems from the history that you had chalazion and it has resolved with treatment.
Chalazion is s non infective condition and you can wear cosmetic contact lenses.
The swelling will disappear slowly and applying hot compression provides rapid relief.

Thank you
