It doesn't hurt unless u poke it (duh). The medacine did not help and now i might get surgery. Has any one ever had this problem and could tell me what they did? Thanx IP: Logged

I've bathed it and put drops but nothing works. They seem to always reappear, even on the top lid too. Do you really think that surgery is the best way to go? Anyways, mine is small and it doesnt bother me to much. It just looks kinda bad. Please tell me what you think... Thanks! IP: Logged

If you have one that has been irritating you for a year, make an appointment with an opthamologist (not optomitrist) or dermatologist. If you just want it removed for cosmetic reasons, your insurance won't pay; and it should cost about $200 for the surgery, plus the office vist. IP: Logged
