Chalazion?: A chalazion is a benign subcutaneous nodule within the eyelid. It is usually painless and self-limiting. The treatment is warm compresses to soften the nodule and gentle massage to help reduce it. It should get better in a few weeks. It's worth seeing a doc for, especially if it doesn't respond to treatment. Don't pop it.

Chalazion: Could be stye or chalazion. Start with hot compress 4x a day and see your eye doctor who can prescribe steroid drops and antibiotic drops. Sometimes surgery us needed to drain.
