There is a small bump on my eyeball

Eyes are very important organs in the human body. If lesions occur near the eyes, it will have a significant impact on everyone's life. If you have small pimples on your eyes, do not ignore them and go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible. If pimples on the eyes are not treated in time, they may cause eye diseases. So, what should you do if you have a small pimple on your eye?

The health of the area around the eyes plays an important role in our body. If there is discomfort in the eyes and eyeballs, or a small lump grows on the eyeball, it will definitely endanger our physical and mental health. Many cases indicate that a small lump on the eyeball is most likely a stye, which is also a type of ophthalmic disease. If the situation is not particularly serious, you can treat it yourself at home, but for safety reasons, friends who don’t understand it should not do it recklessly. A small lump on the eyeball is most likely a stye, commonly known as "picking needles", "pinhole" or "stealing needle eyes", which is a common ophthalmological disease. It is an acute suppurative inflammation caused by staphylococcal infection of the sebaceous glands around the meibomian glands or eyelash follicles. There are two main types according to the location of occurrence, namely internal hordeolum occurring in the meibomian glands and external hordeolum occurring in the glands around the eyelash follicles.

In the early stages of the disease, stye manifests as local congestion, accompanied by pain at the eyelid margin and a foreign body sensation in the eye, and then forms a small, tender, round swelling area. Since no pustules are seen in the early stages, some parents often mistakenly believe that it is caused by mosquito bites or allergies. Then after another 1 or 2 days, the swollen area turns into a pustule. After the pustule becomes purulent, a gray-yellow pus head can be seen on the congested conjunctival surface. After the pus is discharged, the redness and swelling will subside. If the pathogen is extremely toxic and the inflammation spreads before the pus breaks out, it can invade the entire tarsal plate and form an eyelid abscess. In the later stage, small yellow pus spots may form in the center of the swelling area.

Many people think that if they have a small pimple on their eyeball, they don’t need to worry too much and can just buy some ointment and apply it. Experts say that even if there is a small pimple, they should not act so recklessly. After all, it is a very critical part of the human body. If they are not careful, it may lead to blindness, which is not worth it. If you have a small pimple on your eyeball, you must treat it properly to avoid the spread of inflammation and infection.
