Fatty granules generally refer to cornrows and sweat duct tumors, etc. They usually do not go away on their own, and patients can be treated with physical and medication to relieve eye discomfort.
Corns are generally associated with heredity, skin diseases, etc., resulting in benign swellings or retention cysts appearing on the epithelium of the epidermis or appendages. Sweat duct tumors, on the other hand, are rashes that increase in size during pregnancy, premenstrual period, or when estrogen is used, and may be endocrine related. Both usually do not go away on their own, and patients improve their appearance by removing the fat grains with medication or physical therapy.
If the size of the grains is small, no special treatment is usually needed. Patients may be prescribed laser treatment or retinoic acid to remove the papules and improve their appearance, as well as cryotherapy and phototherapy to remove sweat duct tumors.
It is recommended that patients with large numbers of fat grains around the eyes seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow their doctor’s instructions for treatment.
