Observation or?: Small asymptomatic chalazia will often be conservatively managed by moderately hot compresses and massage to see if will shrink and resolve on their own. For bothersome ; larger ones, if not resolving with conservative treatment, an incision ; drainage under local anesthetic will be the usual course of action. Very infrequently, an intralesional corticosteroid injection may be utilized.
