Hi,
I have had a small-ish chalizion in my left upper eyelid for almost a year now, it doesn't hurt, but I just want to get rid of it, and I have not had time to have surgery as I have been busy studying.

Any advice to get rid of it, and quickly?

Someone recommended using epson salts to draw the pus out. This seems like a easy solution. Does anyone know if this successful/ safe. I'm just worried about damaging my eyes
Thank you

I would not put epsom salts near the eye.

Here is a great article from emedicine.com (http://www.emedicinehealth.com/chalazion_lump_in_eyelid/article_em.htm) that explains it all in great detail, including treatment.
