SHOULD MASCARA BE TOSSED AFTER A CHALAZION ON THE UPPER EYELID?

I have a chalazion on my upper eyelid.  Do I need to throw away my mascara?

Good question--and useful answer.  Speaking as a mascara-wearer, I have always wondered a bit about this.

I don't tell my patients that they need to do it since the chalazion is a blocked oil gland in an infection.
