What should I do if a chalazion comes back?

Transcript
If a chalazion returns, particularly in the same site, it's really important to seek advice from an ophthalmologist. Very very occasionally this can be the sign of a nastier lesion such as an eyelid cancer occurring and we need to send off a biopsy to check that that's not the case.
