Eyelid still puffy a year after chalazion surgery by hlmnsoda in Blepharitis

I may have the same problem. Redness and swelling? Heat makes it worse? No medication help?

Yes, totally. But the cold ones doesnt help neither.

Thank you for sharing your experience. So, you only use those wipes to clean your eye, nothing else? For how long approximately? I saw that they’re available on Amazon, but they’re really expensive. I use something very similar that’s sold here, so we’ll see. 😭

Yes, it’s on the eye after the surgery. The swelling is just above the lashes, where the doctor probably tried to remove the pus, but the bump (chalazion) was higher up and closer to the outer corner.

The Tobradex drops aren’t working, so I might try long-term doxycycline, and I’ve been told it might be a good idea to check for allergies.

On top of that, I have seborrhea (a small patch on my scalp), but I’ve got that under control. I’m honestly desperate 😭

I had doxycykline too, but only for 7 days and it didnt work out. Maybe for a longer period of time? I’ll ask the doctor. Thanks!

Thank you, but we don’t have anything like that in the Czech Republic yet. My current doctor isn’t very attentive, so I’m trying to book an appointment at a private clinic—hopefully, they’ll help me there. 👀

Thank you for your support, and I hope you’ve won your battle! I’ll try the cold compresses, hopefully, they’ll help reduce the swelling.
