CHALAZION


This is a chalazion, which is a pocket of pus-filled fluid and inflammatory material. Sometimes it responds to aggressive hot compresses with massage and antibiotic/steroid ointment, but oftentimes it needs to be incised and removed surgically. Steroid injection is also an option.
Amazingly enough, this chalazion totally disappeared with aggressive hot compresses and Tobradex use after about two weeks!
