A member asked:
Do chalazions go away on their own? do they sometimes stay the same permanent? mine is quite tiny.
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, they do: sometimes go away on their own. If it's tiny and not bothering you/not painful, you are fine to just observe. However if it enlarges, is uncomfortable or gets red and swollen, you should have your eye doctor check it.

Yes.: Chalazia can go away with time or warm compresses without need for surgery.
