A member asked:

No: This is not a cancerous or precancerous lesion. This is a blockage of a gland in the eyelid. Some people are prone to them. A warm compress is generally helpful.

See eye doctor: When chalazions keeps recurring in same spot, it may represent a cancer but rarely. You need to see an eye doctor.
