Patient's question:
I have some small granules growing on the edge of my eye, and it's itchy. It has been swollen and red for these past few days. I often touch it with my hands, and it has become inflamed again. I bought some medicine to apply to my eyes, but it keeps tearing. Now it's swollen, and I can't open my eyes. How is eye disease treated?Doctor's answer:
My eyes have developed some small granules, accompanied by itching, redness, and swelling. Most likely, this could be due to a recurrence of local ectopic sebaceous glands, although it's also possible that it's caused by a bacterial infection in a small number of cases. It's not ruled out that there might also be some conjunctivitis. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Currently, you can also apply some anti-inflammatory eye drops externally. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication, and pay attention to keeping the surrounding area clean.
