can anyone tell me

I had a Chalazion drained and everything is going well however on my eyelid where i would put eyeliner at if i used it around the area of the surgery there is this tiney bump that comes and goes, the charlazion is not flaming up there is still a tiny lump caused from scar tissue that inflames sometimes but what is the tiny bump on the eyelid that is coming and going....is this part of the healing process?
i have been on the antibiotics, wash my eyes a few times a day and it doesnt feel like a new stye or anything but not sure what to be looking for to be careful it doesnt happen again.
can someone please help me understand this. is it a scar?

I feel your pain! I have been through 3 years of bouts with lid infections,chalazia,styes,corneal wounds and a terrible corneal ulcer that left a scar(due to the rough texture of my lid rubbing eyeball).It all seems to have started with something i came in contact with while moving out of a very old house id lived in for a long time(mold maybe?)I went to several general MD's,nurse practitioners,minor emergency clinics,and a few optometrists,most of the first year and a half i was at the eye doc every day or every other day due to my corneal wounds.I finally went out of town to the opthomalic plastic surgeon(lid speciallist)who was of more help than anyone,of course...SO,in my findings,you won't be able to see a doc that could help you in a sliding scale clinic or the emergency room,unfortunately,you should find,and set an appointment with an appropriate doc...Mine was willing to work with me on the fees,due to lack of insurance and money.we are in a great big boat with a whole lot of people!!!!so these eye hospitals are used to people needing financial assistance..call around,you ll be surprised...good luck(in the meantime,i wouldnt worry about your "full" eye makeup)

Go to the county emergency hospital, or to a sliding scale clinic.

I have no more money and no insurance to go back to my eye doctor.

No one can tell unless they see it. since you are concerned go back and see your eye surgeon.
