Chalazion treatment
Hi. Am having concern over my friend who is suffering with pimple in the eye ( so called stye/ chalazion). She was suffering from the same for the last 5-6 months. So far she is not having any pain, however pimple seems like increasing in the left eye and started paining ( in full left eye region). One of the doctors told to take surgery. In this regard, please suggest us any medication available for the same or surgery is the only treatment in this case
Thank you
Regards

You will require a small 2 minute procedure to remove the Chalazion. Till then continue warm compresses.

Chalazion needs surgical removal. Since it is 5-6 months old, conservative management will not help. Rest leave to the Dr you consulted offline as he/ she is the better judge to guide you.

If it is a chalazion with increased size, surgery is preferred.
You can do warm compresses meanwhile
