What Causes Swollen Bump At Same Place?

Hi I had a chalazion excised 3 weeks ago and been using antibiotic (with steriod) ointment since the surgery. My doctor asked me to stop using the ointment already, but 2 days after I stopped, I felt that the bump had formed in the same spot where it was removed. The bump is also swollen now. What's happening?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is possible that infection has occurred there, so the sweling has occurred.

I advice you to continue the treatment as there is possibility of infection.

Please start the oral antibiotics as it also treats the infection. I advice you to take the cefixime 200 mg tablet under your doctors guidance. Paracetamol with serratopeptidase helps prevent infection and improves the healing. Please take the above medication under your doctors guidance.

Please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important in treating infection as antibiotics do.

You can wash the eyes with normal saline frequently.

Wearing a goggles can reduce the eye strain.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
