Lower eyelid pimples that don't hurt or itch

Many people have experienced the phenomenon of painless and non-itchy pimples on the lower eyelids. It is difficult to determine the specific cause based on this symptom alone, because there are many possibilities, such as milia, acne, fat granules, etc. We can understand the main factors, make a comprehensive judgment based on our own situation, and find out the reasons as soon as possible so that we can deal with it better.

Milia The cause of milia is excessive keratinization of the skin at the openings of the sweat glands; there is no solution in Western medicine and it is attributed to benign. Some medical experts believe that it is related to endocrine, while some scholars believe that it is a simple skin disease. These two different viewpoints also appear in different versions of textbooks. In fact, mild milia can be attributed to a simple skin disease, and can also be solved according to the Western medicine method of first needle picking and then disinfection. This situation is limited to cases with a small number, long-term stability, and the presence of small whiteheads. Milia is most closely related to endocrine in most cases. The most common manifestation is that it will grow again after needle picking, and even the overall number will increase, or new milia will re-appear in other places. Western medicine has no solution for this type of miliary papules. Western medicine excels in surgery, antibiotics, nerve blockers and various tests, but it is almost blank when it comes to various conditioning and nourishing methods and functional improvements and repairs. Therefore, the latter case of miliary papules, if treated according to conventional Western medicine - using hormones or nerve blockers, can relieve symptoms, but because it cannot regulate the endocrine system and only works on the skin itself, it is difficult to cure it. In fact, many Western dermatologists believe that stubborn fat cysts and seborrheic dermatitis are incurable diseases. Actually, it is not. As long as you find the right ideas and methods, all problems will be solved.

The second type of acne is that it is not milia at all, but acne, which is a morphological variation caused by excessive treatment of acne with external medications. The core problem of acne is that the skin's disease resistance is low, causing the skin to be infected with Propionibacterium acnes. Under normal circumstances, this type of acne should manifest as a skin inflammation reaction caused by the accumulation of sebum and Propionibacterium acnes at the opening of the sweat hairs, forming a larger acne shape and white pus heads. But in real life, due to the lack of strict control over hormones in our country, many functional cosmetics, oil-control facial cleansers, toners that shrink sweat pores, and many acne-removing products use hormones as the main active ingredients. Under the action of hormones, the inflammatory state of these acne pimples disappears and sebum secretion decreases. Leaving only a tiny fat particle at the opening of the sweat hair can easily lead doctors and people to mistakenly think that this is a kind of fat particle or milia; but in fact, it is essentially different from milia, that is: milia is not infected with bacteria, but it is infected with Propionibacterium acnes; milia is a fat particle formed by itself, while it is a fat particle formed under the action of hormones. The core of milia is the low regulation ability of endocrine and skin, while it is the low regulation ability and disease resistance of skin and endocrine. Therefore, this treatment method is not the treatment method of milia, but the treatment method for severe acne.

The third type of skin system abnormality is the abnormality of the skin nervous system: it is mainly the abnormal function of the arrector pili muscles at the hair openings and excessive keratinization of the skin. The biggest feature of this situation is that there are no fat particles themselves, but the arrector pili muscles at the hair openings are abnormally excited and abnormally protruding, and the skin at the hair openings is abnormally excessively keratinized, so the typical miliary papules are formed. When you really prick it with a needle, you find that there are no fat particles inside. This situation is more common in endocrine disorders; strictly speaking, it is more common in the neuro-endocrine system, and there is a disorder in the link of nerve control over the skin. In this case, Chinese medicine has a very vivid term, called "skin wind", which means coming and going like the wind: when you find this kind of papule-like lesion on the skin, it may only last for a few days, and then it will suddenly improve and disappear quickly. Since the core of this disease is the disorder of the nervous system's regulation of the skin, therefore, if hormonal ointments that block nerves are used for treatment, it will not only be ineffective, but will also aggravate the disorder. Of course, this situation can only be solved by using traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine. The fourth situation is not a single situation. The reason why the following problems are all classified as the fourth situation is that these situations are more serious and can only be treated comprehensively with Chinese medicine. The lesions are manifested on the skin, but the core problem is inside the body. It not only requires a high level of Chinese medicine, but also requires two-way serious cooperation. We must calm down and slowly treat and regulate. Serious situations generally include the following aspects. The first is patches of miliary papules, which are often difficult to treat after a long time, especially when a lot of external products are used. The second is stubborn acne, which is the sequelae of hormone use. The acne problem is often not terrible and not difficult to solve, but the sequelae of hormones are really difficult to solve. The third is systemic neuroendocrine system disorders. The fourth is sebaceous adenoma, which looks very similar to fat cysts, but it is a tumor after all. Although it grows slowly, it will grow. The difficulty of treating it is much higher than that of treating fat cysts, and is close to that of treating tumors. The fifth is seborrheic dermatitis with mixed symptoms of multiple pathologies. In theory, dermatitis accompanied by fat particles, peeling, and excessive oiliness is called seborrheic dermatitis. In medical theory, seborrheic dermatitis is a separate disease name, but in real life, due to the abuse of hormones, those who show symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis are often a mixture of more complex skin diseases such as allergic dermatitis, hormonal dermatitis, fat particles, miliary papules, and acne. Simple seborrheic dermatitis has become less common.
