Internal hordeolum not healing fully
I had an internal hordeolum around 2 weeks back on my upper eyelid...was prescribed Cebest 200 & Aceclobak tablets. The pain of the hordeolum has gone, the swelling too has reduced considerably, however there is still a small cyst like boil / pimple on the upper eyelid. I am continuously giving hot fomentation & maintaining eyelid hygiene, yet the boil isn't going. What can I do? I'm scared of any surgical removal... pls suggest ways to heal it.
I understand going under the knife sounds really scary. But sometimes that's a good choice. The infection that persisted has lead to the development of cyst like swelling which requires incision and drainage.
You have been advised good and chalazion treatment requires a small procedure to be done.
