1. Skin warts Skin warts are a common skin disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Commonly known as "warts", skin warts are highly contagious and can appear on any part of the human body. If they grow on the eyelids, they will form small bumps.

Its characteristics are: protrusions on the skin surface, no tenderness, easy to spread and spread. If found, you need to go to the dermatology department in time. You can refer to the following pictures.

2. The reason why xanthomas are placed in the second category is that, firstly, there are more and more patients with xanthomas nowadays, and secondly, in clinical practice, people often confuse them with skin warts. Some even name xanthomas "palpebral xanthoma" in "Baidu Encyclopedia". The author believes that this definition is not standard and can even be said to be wrong.

3. Stye Stye, also known as sty and hordeolum, is an acute suppurative inflammation of the sebaceous glands or meibomian glands near the eyelash follicles. It is also a disease we often encounter in ophthalmology.

Its characteristics are: localized redness, swelling, heat and pain in the eyelid skin, and edema of the adjacent conjunctiva; when pus accumulates locally, yellow pus heads appear. External styes occur in the sebaceous glands at the root of the eyelashes and manifest themselves on the skin surface; internal styes occur in the meibomian glands and manifest themselves on the conjunctival surface. After rupture and drainage of pus, the pain is relieved and the redness and swelling subside; severe cases are accompanied by enlarged and tender preauricular and submandibular lymph nodes, general chills, fever, etc.

4. Chalazion Chalazion is a chronic inflammatory granuloma of the meibomian glands formed due to obstruction of the meibomian gland drainage duct and retention of secretions. Also known as chalazion.

5. The reason why eyelid tumors are classified as the fifth category is mainly due to its clinical specificity and importance. The first four categories of "pimples" will either be discovered and treated in time; or they will not be discovered for a short time and will not cause obvious adverse consequences. As for eyelid tumors, many diseases require timely medical treatment, otherwise delayed treatment may cause a series of problems.
