A member asked:
I have a chalazion in my bottom eyelid. it's pretty swollen and ugly. is there a way to "pop" it? i cannot afford surgery. i've had it for too long.

Chalazions: These do require surgical 'unroofing' so that they don't come back. Even, if there was a way to just 'pop' them, they would return fairly quickly. Sorry that there is no quick and easy answer about it. Good luck.
