The appearance of such rashes indicates an increased functioning of the glands. There are no alarming symptoms in this state (pain or inflammation). A person is worried about aesthetic discomfort. |

Causes of appearance, symptoms
There are numerous reasons why acne appears on a person's face. You need to go to the hospital, get tested and get a diagnosis. Correctly selected treatment will help prevent negative consequences.
A pimple on the eyelid of the eye appeared as a result of the following reasons:
Name | Description |
Allergy | The skin in the eye area is thin and sensitive, therefore, exposure to any allergens leads to an inflammatory reaction (pollen, cosmetics, animal hair, medications). Along with pimples on the eyelid, accompanying symptoms appear, including a runny nose, sneezing, redness and itching. |
Demodecosis | The causative agents of the disease provoke a strong allergic reaction. We are talking about eels that live in the dust. The disease is accompanied by itching, tearing and a feeling of sand in the eyes. |
Infection | Pathological processes provoke the formation of dense pimples and purulent acne. It can be trachoma, blepharitis, keratitis, ulcerative staphylococcus aureus. |

Weak immunity | Pimples appear after a cold, hypothermia, or as a result of intense physical exertion. All these negative effects on the body contribute to a decrease in defenses. |
Disruption of the digestive tract | The defeat of the organs of the digestive system leads to the accumulation of toxins in the human body. The sebaceous glands work in an enhanced mode to remove them, they clog themselves and provoke the formation of pimples. |
Cosmetical tools | Many creams, ointments and decorative cosmetics contain harmful substances that contribute to the blockage of the sebaceous glands. After applying such funds, especially women, often face acne on the face in the eye area. |
One of the reasons for the appearance of pimples on the eyelid is a failure in the production of sebum. This condition is explained by the increased work of the sebaceous glands, as a result of which they become clogged. This problem is more often encountered by people with oily skin. Pimples appear not only in the eye area, but also throughout the body.

On the eyeball | A yellow growth appears on the surface of the mucous membrane of the eye and is called a pinguecula. Small education does not cause discomfort. Its increase provokes dryness and a feeling of the presence of a foreign body. The main causes of pinguecula are age-related changes, degenerative processes in the conjunctival region, and increased exposure to ultraviolet rays. |
