My ophthalmologist says my chalazion is too diffuse to be removed. it is really small and you cant really see it and can only feel it. is it possible that it is a permanent bump?

Most will resolve by time but recurrence is likely.

If it’s too small to excise, usually best to leave it alone. However it is sometimes possible to use intralesional steroids. If it’s really small and can’t be seen, probably better to watch it
