A chalazion doe not clear up quickly. In fact we usually wait 4-6 weeks before considering surgery to remove it. A week is "just beginning". Stop the apple cider vinegar, where did that idea come from? I'm sure not your doctor. Chalazia are generally hard and non-tender. If it gets red, tender, painful to touch see an ophthalmologist. Clean your lids (both eyes) with a cleaner like Ocusoft Platinum Plus lid cleaner. (non prescription)
