Anyone had treatment for a Chalazion (eyelid cyst)

[Hitesh]

Hey Folks!

Dr.Internet tells me that the lump that has formed in my eyelid is not a sty, but a 'chalazion', a lump of oil buildup resulting from a blocked pore.

Phew - now I know what it is, I need to do something about it!
One option is to have it surgically removed - not a complex procedure, but as with any surgery in a foreign place (or any place for that matter) you want to feel reassured you are in safe hands.

So finally my question... Has anyone had treatment or surgery for Chalazion removal in Hua Hin or nearby ?
I'd appreciate your thoughts - the 'pirate' look is not the most flattering, as you can imagine ; )

Kind Regards, Hitesh

I didn't do it here, but had one treated in California a couple of months ago. It is a very simple procedure so I wouldn't worry too much about having it done here.....They stick a needle into the growth and drain it. The lump disappears on it's one quite quickly.
