The growth of a small lump in the inner corner of the eye may be caused by inflammation of the lacrimal caruncle, blepharitis, pterygium, orbital fat prolapse and other reasons.
1. Inflammation of the lacrimal caruncle: the lacrimal caruncle is located in the inner corner of the eye, due to its special position, it is exposed to the air for a long period of time, which is susceptible to bacterial infections and induces inflammation of the lacrimal caruncle, and under the constant stimulation of inflammation, it leads to conjunctival hyperplasia and the formation of conjunctival cyst, which in turn manifests as a small pimple growing on the inner corner of the eye.
2. Blepharitis: usually caused by the sebaceous glands at the edge of the blepharoplasty glands being infected, which can lead to localized lumps on the eyelids, which may result in a small bump on the inner corner of the eye, and may also be accompanied by pain, eyelid congestion and other manifestations.
3. Pterygium: usually caused by viral infection, ultraviolet radiation and other factors, resulting in conjunctival tissue hyperplasia, which may result in a pimple at the inner corner of the eye, and may be accompanied by redness of the eye, photophobia and other manifestations.
4. Prolapse of orbital fat: usually due to aging factors, the orbital septum becomes weak, resulting in the loss of effective support of intraorbital fat and protrudes outward, which may lead to the growth of a small pimple at the inner corner of the eye.
It is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible to identify the cause and give targeted treatment.
