Question
My daughter is now 15 months old. Two months ago, a chalazion appeared on the upper eyelid of her left eye, which was later resolved after taking medication. However, now there is a papilloma inside the lower eyelid of her left eye. Is this normal? Do I need to have surgery?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the child’s condition may be a chalazion, which commonly occurs on the upper eyelid, has a slow course, and can be felt as a hard lump on the eyelid surface without adhesion to the skin and without tenderness. It is recommended to consult an ophthalmologist at a regular hospital for a diagnosis. Pay attention to eye hygiene in daily life. Additionally, eat less spicy food and more eye-protective foods.
