Management and Treatment
Most chalazia go away in a month or less. First, never push on a chalazion or try to pop it. You can injure your eye.
Can a chalazion be permanent?
Dahl, MD, FACS. A chalazion is a lump in the upper or lower eyelid caused by obstruction and inflammation of an oil gland of the eyelid. A chalazion is not a tumor or growth and does not cause permanent changes in the vision. A chalazion is very common and usually goes away without the necessity of surgery.
What happens if a chalazion is left untreated?
If left untreated, most chalazion should eventually heal by themselves, but this may take many months and could cause infections, discomfort and affect your child's vision during this time.
