I'm a healthy 27y/o male with a pea size chalazion on lower eyelid for about 4 months. Started out with an infection (puffy, red) - went to the health clinic and was prescribed 5 days doxycycline.. infection improved but chalazion did not... prescribed Abs for another 14 days. No improvement. I decided to visit ocularplastics ophthalmologist (3 months with chalazion) and actually another smaller one formed on the other eye (without the infection) - I had previously been under a lot of stress. Anyways, the doctor recommended surgery on the larger chalazion, performed that day... 1 month later chalazion still there (red & slightly inflammed - not much size change). Went back for post op.. he told me that my body still needs to deal with the inflammation. During surgery he said it presented atypically and not as involved as he thought (clear liquid and not the toothpaste consistency). He advised to either have corticosteriod shots for a quick fix or let the body take care of it (decided on this). If no improvements in 2 months a biopsy may be needed... I can't help but be concerned. Is this a normal protocol? I do understand why a biopsy would be needed.. but at my age?
