Sometimes the formation appears due to a chalazion, in other cases it is caused by the human papillomavirus. Perhaps the appearance of a wart on the eyelid, under it. Any bump, seal in the area of the visual organ is a reason to contact a specialist. Proper diagnosis of the condition and the choice of an adequate therapeutic method is the key to long-term preservation of visual acuity.
Relevance of the issue
At least once in a lifetime, sealing, formation, outgrowth on the upper eyelid of the eye appeared in almost any person. For some, the phenomenon indicated blepharitis, barley, but not always everything is so simple. Scientists know that there is a huge variety of diseases that can provoke the appearance of thickening on the eyelid.
The etiology of diseases of the organs of vision is different, but risk factors are known for almost everyone. Most often, a person notes that an eye has appeared on the eyelidgrowth, if the immunological status has worsened. The probability of formation of a neoplasm is higher if it is prone to viral, infectious diseases or is in the cold for a long time, which is accompanied by general hypothermia. The reason for the formation of growth can be vitamin deficiency. In some cases, stress factors and chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal system play a negative role. Higher likelihood of eye growths in case of failure in the balance of microflora, against the background of cholecystitis, enterocolitis or gastritis.
Dangers and Consequences
A growth under the eyelid of the eye can appear in a person whose body does not tolerate contact lenses. Similar problems can haunt people who neglect the rules of personal hygiene. The risks are associated with the excessive use of cosmetic products, the use of low-quality goods.
It is possible to form growths if a person naturally has too oily skin. If the sebaceous glands function too actively, white growths may appear on the eyelid. A hormonal imbalance can lead to a similar result. Risks are associated with diseases that affect the concentration of hormones in the circulatory system. Certain dangers are associated with eye diseases - previously suffered, untreated, as well as those whose treatment was abandoned halfway.
Studies have shown that eye growths are more likely to bother people over the age of fifty.
Barley
For this reason, the growth on the inner eyelidEyes appeared in almost every person at least once in a lifetime. The disease is formed when Staphylococcus aureus is introduced into the tissues. Barley is usually called such an infectious pathology, in which the focus of inflammation is localized in the meibomian glands or in the areas of growth of eyelashes. At first, you can see a small seal, after a few days a kind of head appears. The microflora that causes barley belongs to the class of opportunistic pathogens.
If you look at different photos of growths on the eyelid of a person's eye, you can see: all cases are different from each other, even if the phenomenon is caused by the same reason. For example, if we are talking about barley, then there are two varieties - external and internal. The first is diagnosed in the case of inflammation in the eyelash follicle. The internal type develops if a dangerous microorganism has settled in the glands of the eye.
Features of the state
You can suspect barley if it feels like a small object has got into the eye. The hyperemia of the area is visually visible. The growth inside the eyelid of the eye or on the outer ciliary layer provokes pain, the area swells. In some, against the background of the inflammatory process, the body temperature rises. The barley seal is tightly soldered to the skin, creates considerable discomfort, causes pain. The maturation process is associated with the release of a head filled with purulent substances. Over time, the formation opens up. This does not require additional measures.
If the growth on the eyelid is due to barley, strictlyit is forbidden to pierce the inflamed area or violate the integrity of the focus in other ways. You can not put pressure on the barley. A particularly strict ban is imposed on such manipulations at home, without prior treatment with an antiseptic. To get rid of the unpleasant formation, it is necessary to resort to specialized medical assistance. Most often, antibiotics are used in the form of eye drops. A wide variety of drugs are presented on the pharmacy shelves, and Tobrex and Albucid are considered especially in demand. Often, doctors recommend stopping at Levomycetin. Antimicrobial preparations in the form of ointments have similar qualities. These are more often used in the evening. There are tetracycline preparations and ointments on erythromycin. Eye washes are done with Miramistin, Chlorhexidine.
If you do not practice any treatment, the growth on the eyelid of the eye will mature and open on average in a week and a half. With medical support, the disease will be cured in 3-4 days. Usually, the focus of inflammation is formed only on one eye, very rarely the pathological condition extends to the second. In order to prevent such a complication, drops with an antimicrobial effect are instilled into both eyes at once.
Chalazion
The term is used to denote an inflammatory process, accompanied by blockage of the meibomian glands. The site becomes an area of accumulation of specific secretions, due to which an outgrowth is formed on the eyelid of the eye. Chalazion is popularly known as a hailstone. visual pathologysimilar to barley, but requires a different approach to treatment. Upon closer examination, you can see that the area is not soldered to the skin.
Meibomian glands are designed to generate high fat compounds - they are the tear element. The secret protects the organs of vision, ensures smoothness of the mucosa and prevents the tissues from drying out. If the glandular ducts become blocked, compounds continue to be generated but cannot exit, so internal accumulation occurs. The growth that forms at the same time on the eyelid of the eye gradually becomes larger.
Symptomatology and treatment
In specialized medical publications, you can see a lot of thematic photos: growths on the eyelid (lower, upper) are a topical issue for doctors, so the conditions and pathologies that provoke the phenomenon have been studied for a long time. Chalazion will not be an exception. Doctors pay attention: you can suspect a condition if there is a neoplasm on the eye that looks like a pea. When the formation first appears, the area may turn red, slightly swollen. The site is mobile, does not have a tight connection with the skin, and touching it does not cause pain. As time passes, a capsule may appear, which is accompanied by an increase in the dimensions of the formation. There is no hyperemia of the skin. There is a risk of formation on any century. The disease affects people of all ages and gender. On average, the upper eyelid suffers more often than the lower one, since the glands are denser here.
Treatment of growth on the lowereyelid should be handled by a professional. An attempt to pierce, squeeze out an acne will lead to serious consequences, inflammation and infection, which is associated with a risk of complete and irreversible loss of vision. After examining the patient's condition, the doctor will prescribe appropriate medications.
Drugs: what works?
Most often, against the build-up on the lower eyelid, the upper one is prescribed tetracycline ointment. Local treatment shows good results at the stage when pus is just starting to accumulate. Good results show means that stimulate the resorption of secretions and inhibit the activity of the inflammatory focus. They may recommend dripping "Ofloxacin" or "Levomycetin" into the eyes. In some cases, treatment with erythromycin ointment looks the most promising. With ointments, you can make compresses. Eye rinsing is often prescribed with antiseptic preparations - Miramistin, Chlorhexidine. Good results are obtained by combining a medical course and physiotherapy. With a large formation, hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs are indicated that effectively prevent the formation of a fibrous capsule.
As some of the photos presented in specialized reference books prove, the growth on the eyelid of the eye due to chalazion can be very large. In this case, the doctor recommends surgical measures to get rid of the advanced pathology. Such intervention is resorted to if conservative methods are ineffective. The intervention is outpatient, requires local anesthesia, lasts no more than a third of an hour. Doctorcuts the affected area, removes the capsule and secretions. The risk of recurrence depends on the cleanliness of the event. Upon completion of the operation, the patient is shown to wear an eye patch for some time and treat the area with antiseptics.

This gives access to a number of advantages, since the risk of complications after the intervention is less, there is no need to use a bandage. There is no need for stitches after the laser. As the area heals, a crust appears, which eventually disappears on its own. You cannot shoot it yourself.

The cause of the phenomenon is a blockage of the glands that generate sebaceous secretions. You can notice the millet by a small seal, the dimensions of which rarely exceed three millimeters. Such formations can act immediately in large numbers. The area does not bother with pain, does not swell and does not turn red, but there is a risk of an inflammatory process if pathogenic microflora penetrates the visual system. The most unpleasant aspect of millet is its unaesthetic appearance.sick.

Furuncles
Such a pathology, localized in the organs of vision, is considered extremely dangerous, as it is accompanied by necrotic processes affecting the eyelash follicle, glands, fibrin. Furuncles appear with the invasion of a pathological agent, usually Staphylococcus aureus. A common area of localization is near the eyebrow on the eyelid from above, but inflammation of the edge of the eyelid is possible.
