There is a pimple on the lower eyelid

The skin around the eyes is very fragile, and if skin diseases occur on the skin around the eyes, it often causes panic in patients. In the process of daily skin care, you should also pay attention to avoid the area around the eyes, because the skin around the eyes is very thin and it is not suitable for using ordinary skin care products. After a long time, some people found that small pimples grew on their lower eyelids. What kind of skin disease is this?

If a small pimple grows on the upper eyelid, it is likely to be a chalazion, which is a chronic inflammatory granuloma of the meibomian gland formed due to obstruction of the meibomian gland drainage duct and retention of secretions. Also known as chalazion. It is a common disease that can affect both children and adults. The disease progresses slowly and may recur. A firm, painless lump may be felt on the eyelid with raised skin overlying the eye. When the disease occurs in the elderly and tends to recur, it needs to be differentiated from meibomian gland carcinoma.

Clinical manifestations

1. The disease progresses slowly and there are generally no obvious symptoms. There is no pain, but sometimes only a feeling of heaviness. Temporary astigmatism may be caused by pressure from a mass, or a foreign body sensation may be caused by pressure from the eyeball.

2. One or several round lumps of varying sizes can be felt under the eyelid skin, ranging from as small as rice grains and mung beans to as large as soybeans and cherries. They have a smooth surface, are not adhered to the skin, have clear edges, and are not tender.

3. When the eyelid is turned over, a purple or gray-red localized bulge can be seen on the conjunctival surface of the lump. If there is secondary infection, it may develop into a stye.

4. Small lumps can be completely absorbed by themselves, or they can break through the conjunctival surface and discharge the gelatinous contents, forming fungus-like granulation proliferation. This granulation tissue can also pass through the discharge ducts of the meibomian glands and form papillary proliferation on the surface of the eyelid margin.

examine

One or several round lumps of varying sizes can be felt under the eyelid skin, ranging from as small as rice grains and mung beans to as large as soybeans and cherries. There is no redness, swelling or tenderness on the skin surface. When the eyelid is turned over, a purple or gray-red localized bulge can be seen on the conjunctival surface of the mass. For elderly patients, especially those with recurrent recurrences after surgery, the resected specimens should be sent for pathological examination to rule out the possibility of meibomian gland carcinoma.

After the above introduction, we know what the small bumps under the lower eyelids are, right? That small bump is actually a chalazion, which is painless and itchy. It will only grow protruding particles on the surface of the skin. Sometimes it will disappear after a period of time, but it will grow again afterwards. If you find yourself having this symptom, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
