Small fleshy bumps on the inner corner of the eye

If a patient has small fleshy bumps on the inner corner of the eye, it is more likely that they may have blepharitis, entropion, pterygium, or a blepharocyst. These are common diseases of the eyelids, and patients are advised to make preliminary judgments based on their symptoms, and then go to the hospital for examination to clarify the condition and receive treatment: 1. Blepharitis: also commonly known as wheals, can lead to small hard nodules or bumps on the inside of the patient’s eye, accompanied by redness, swelling, fever, and significant pressure and pain. The patient can use erythromycin ophthalmic ointment or levofloxacin ophthalmic solution to apply local drops, and the abscess can break down and drain pus on its own. 2. Chalazion cyst: also called chalazion, this can lead to single or multiple round lumps or bumps of morphological tissue on the inner corner of the eye and inner eyelid. A purplish or gray-red lesion on the surface of the corresponding conjunctiva is noted. The patient can observe a purplish or grayish red lesion on the surface of the corresponding conjunctiva. The lesion does not need to be treated when it is small, but when it is large, it can be treated with both heat and glucocorticoid injections to promote absorption, and if it does not subside, it needs to be surgically removed. 3. Pterygium: It can lead to the appearance of fatty tissue in the inner corner of the patient’s eye, and a foreign body sensation can also be felt. Smaller pterygia do not require special treatment measures. In the active phase or larger size, they can be treated with hormones and non-steroidal steroids. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery is required. 4. Lacrimal caruncle cyst: It is a sebaceous cyst located on the lacrimal caruncle at the inner corner of the eye, which usually does not cause symptoms except for the growth of a small fleshy lump. Eye drops can be used to relieve it, or it can be surgically removed; 5. Entropion: As the eyelid turns inward so that the eyelashes rub against the cornea and conjunctival surface, it causes a slight foreign body sensation inside the patient’s eye, and some patients may develop cysts or ulcers that can appear as small fleshy bumps At the same time, the patient may also have photophobia, tearing, and a stinging sensation. Some lid entropion will gradually disappear with growth and development and will not affect the patient significantly, requiring no special treatment. If the discomfort worsens later in life, surgical correction in the hospital is required. In addition, yellow tumors may be considered, but they are relatively rare and are more common in middle-aged and elderly people.
