Since your chalazion has not resolved even though you are doing hot fomentation you might need a small surgery...do not be afraid...its a minor surgery...wont take more than 15 mins max

Better to share photos for the current size of chalazion. If it has been a year, a small surgery may be required. But if its small and the issue is its recurrence, you can try hot fomentation, lid massage along with fomentation, topical antibiotic eye ointment twice a day, systemic doxycycline tablet once a day for 2 weeks and then see if there is any difference. Before starting medications, it would be good to check via offline or online consult to rule out presence of any ongoing infection
