8. Chalazia Warning Signs
If the skin around the lump is hot or a fever occurs, this could be a sign of something other than chalazia. Fevers often mean infections, and you may need treatment with antibiotics.
Vision changes and limited eye movement can be a sign the cyst is growing larger and pressing against the eyeball. Ocular tuberculosis is a serious condition that can look like a severe case of chalazia. This rare infectious disease can be diagnosed by a blood test ordered by your doctor.
