What to do if there is a pile of flesh inside the corner of the eye

A lump of flesh inside the corner of the eye may be a tear trough, located inside the inner corner of the eye, visually looks like a reddish flesh-like bump hidden in the corner of the eye, which can help reduce foreign bodies into the tear dots, which is a normal physiological structure and does not need to be treated. However, if there is inflammation in the tear duct, it may be more red and swollen and look more obvious, which requires treatment. In addition, a pile of flesh growing inside the corner of the eye may also be blepharitis, lid cysts, lid fissures, pterygium, etc. Treatment is usually anti-inflammatory and anti-infective, with surgical removal if necessary. Patients are advised to seek prompt medical attention, follow medical advice, and avoid rubbing their eyes on a daily basis to avoid aggravating the symptomatic response: 1. General treatment: For some early inflammatory conditions, relief can be provided by local hot compresses, such as blepharitis and lid cysts. Hot compresses can be applied by wetting a towel with hot water at about 40°C and applying a hot compress to the eye for 10-15 minutes each time, 3-5 times a day. Also pay attention to rest to help relieve symptoms; 2. Medication: Antibiotic eye medications can be given appropriately to relieve local redness, itching, foreign body sensation and other symptoms, commonly used medications are levofloxacin eye drops, erythromycin eye ointment, etc. For more severe inflammation, such as abnormal local redness, swelling, heat and pain, or when accompanied by systemic symptoms, such as when blepharitis develops into cellulitis, antibiotics can be systematically applied for treatment, including cefradine and cefixime. This can also be supplemented with ibuprofen and acetaminophen to help reduce fever and relieve pain. If the lid gland cyst is too large, glucocorticoids can be injected appropriately to promote absorption; 3. Surgical treatment: When the inflammation develops severely and a local abscess is formed, surgical incision and drainage treatment is required. In addition, if this pile of flesh inside the corner of the eye is not inflammation, but a redundant or proliferative organism, it also needs to be surgically removed when it affects the vision, such as when the lid patch develops into a pterygium. In addition, it is recommended to pay attention to eye health, avoid overuse of eyes, staying up late, etc., reduce eye irritation, do not rub with your hands if you have a foreign body sensation, and blink your eyes appropriately for relief. In addition, avoid staring at the computer, cell phone, television, etc. for a long time, you can take a break and look far away in the middle of the day, you can also do eye exercises for relief. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially blueberries and carrots, which are good for eye health.
