A member asked:
Got a kenalog (triamcinolone) injection for a chalazion on my eyelid 4 days ago there is a dark red mark there now, is this bruising or pigmentation from steroid?

Hemorrhage: Most likely the steroid has been effective but has induced some degree of bleeding in the area of the chalazion. You might try applying very warm soaks several times per day to help resorb the blood and promote healing.
