| Hi All
Had my Chalazion surgically drained 4 weeks ago. The Chalazion
dosen't have any fluid inside but is merely a bump, it is still red.
I've been advised by the doctor to stop using the antibiotic ointment
as I've been using it for a few months now. Whats the norm for
Chalazion's after drainage.. do they clear up, or am I going to have to
have it done again? Thanks all..
Adam :-)

| The only sure cure is sun-gazing.

| Most important part of the post-op treatment is NOT antibiotics, these are
usually sterile inflammations by now. Should have been using hot compresses
before, but especially after the drainage to help the residual inflammation
of the wall of the chalazion go down (heat increases circulation trhough the
eyelid). Do for about 1-2 weeks, 3x a day for 5-10 minutes.
