Children have small pimples on their eyes. Early treatment is crucial.

In daily life, many children will grow small bumps under their glasses, which will make people very worried. These small bumps are divided into two types: milia and syringoma, which are commonly known as fat granules. Although milia is not a serious disease, it can also cause certain damage to the eyes. In this case, people need to choose appropriate treatment methods to help the baby recover health as soon as possible.

1. What grows on the child's lower eyelid is not a fat particle

These small white particles that grow on the surface of the skin of the upper and lower eyelids are not the so-called "fat granules". Fat granules are actually just a common name in beauty. From a medical point of view, fat granules should be divided into two types: milia and syringoma.

2. Correctly distinguish between fat particles and syringoma

What people usually call fat particles actually refer to milia. It originates from benign cysts of the epidermis or appendage epithelium. It looks like a stone, is yellow-white, and is about the size of a needle tip or a millet grain. Small white lumps can be seen when they are pricked with a needle. When the skin is not clean enough, such as using heavy eye shadow and other makeup products for a long time, or using too much scrubs and exfoliating products, it will cause extremely tiny wounds that are invisible to the naked eye on the skin around the eyes, and then produce milia during the skin's self-repair process.

Syringoma is a nevus-like tumor formed by the differentiation and abnormal development of the ducts in the epidermis of the eccrine sweat glands. Of course, there is no need to worry, it is benign. It is generally a 2-3 mm flesh-colored or brown hard and tough papule with irregular shape. No hair follicle openings can be seen on the surface, and the surface skin is close to normal skin color. They are often symmetrically distributed on the lower eyelids, and can also be seen on the forehead, cheeks, neck, etc. Some are densely packed into dozens, while others occur singly.

PS: Some are inherited from family members. Although they will not disappear on their own, Chinese and foreign experts have not found any cases of malignancy turning into cancer in many years of clinical diagnosis and treatment, which shows that they do not have much impact on physical health. Some serious cases may develop into patches in the later stages. Acupuncture and skin care products are all useless. The only way is to go to the hospital and use laser or electric needle to burn it off completely.

Treatment

Sebaceous cysts can be treated at home with a sterilized needle or an injection needle purchased at a pharmacy, but syringomas must be treated in a hospital. Regardless of the type of swelling, no scars will be formed after treatment.

4. How to use a needle to pick out fat particles

The first step is to take a common sewing needle and disinfect it with alcohol.

The second step is to disinfect the skin around the eyes with alcohol.

The third step is to use a sterilized needle to slowly pick out the small white particles inside the fat granules.

Step 4: Disinfect the wound with alcohol again, apply some anti-inflammatory ointment, and then cover it with a Band-Aid. Change it twice a day, do not get it wet or wear makeup.
