What causes small pimples on children's eyelids?

The pimples on the child's eyelids are styes, which are caused by bacterial infection and have a lot to do with excessive use of the eyes. You can use some antibiotic eye ointment and eye drops

Causes

There are two kinds of glands on the eyelids. The sebaceous glands at the root of the eyelashes open into the hair follicles. The meibomian glands are buried in the tarsal plates near the conjunctival surface and open into the eyelid margins. Stye is an acute suppurative inflammation of these two glands. The bacteria that cause styes are mostly Staphylococcus aureus.

Clinical manifestations

1. Localized redness, swelling, heat and pain on the eyelid skin, and edema of the adjacent conjunctiva.

2. When pus accumulates locally, yellow pus heads appear. External hordeolum occurs in the sebaceous glands at the root of the eyelashes and manifests itself on the skin surface; internal hordeolum occurs in the meibomian glands and manifests itself on the conjunctival surface. After rupture and drainage of pus, the pain will be relieved and the redness and swelling will subside.

3. Severe cases are accompanied by enlarged and tender preauricular and submandibular lymph nodes, general chills, fever, etc.

examine

1. Pay special attention to changes in the eyelids.

2. If there are systemic reactions, the peripheral blood leukocyte count and classification should be checked.

treat

1. Early hot compress or magnetic therapy

Promote infiltration absorption or rapid suppuration of nodules.

2. Surgical incision

When the inflammation is under control and pus accumulates to form a fluctuating feeling, it can be drained by incision, and the necrotic or granulation tissue can be properly cleaned. Depending on the situation, placement of a drainage strip can be considered. After the inflammation subsides, if there is still residual granulation tissue or nodules left, surgical removal can be performed again. However, it should be noted that the skin incision of the external hordeolum should be parallel to the eyelid margin, and the conjunctival incision of the internal hordeolum should be perpendicular to the eyelid margin. Avoid inappropriate squeezing to prevent the inflammation from spreading into the orbit and cranium, causing orbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus phlebitis, meningitis and abscess, which may be life-threatening.

3. For stubborn and recurrent cases

Autoimmune therapy is available. Patients with systemic fever and swollen preauricular and submandibular lymph nodes can be treated with antibiotics.
