A member asked:

I have had a small chalazion for 2 years but just got bigger now, will a steroid injection still help reduce the size/make it go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Steroid injection into a chalazion can help get rid of it. If that doesn't work, then surgical removal - a minor procedure in an ophthalmologists office can be done.
