Does Cleaning A Ruptured Chalazion Thoroughly Prevent Its Reoccurrence?
I have a chalazion on my left eyelid that appears very close to draining/rupturing. I’ve been doing warm compresses for several days to alleviate it. My question is, if it ruptures/drains, does it behave like a cyst in terms of the need to remove a sac from within to avoid getting another one in the same place? Or will cleaning it thoroughly be enough?

Hi,
If it ruptures it will drain itself and usually no intervention is required. You should continue application of warm compresses.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
