Eyelid Bump & Long-Term Outlook
Once a stye has drained, either naturally or by medical intervention, they normally heal on their own within a week. It's not unusual for another stye to appear after the initial one has healed. A chalazion may take anywhere from a week to a month to clear up.
Although xanthelasma is harmless, it's a good idea to consult a doctor, as it could be caused by an underlying health condition.
