Medically, "milia" are clinically referred to as acne. Treatment for acne near the corner of the eye can be selected according to its severity.

1. Mild cases

If the acne near the eye is small and symptoms are mild, it is recommended to apply topical medications such as tretinoin ointment, adapalene gel, or fusidic acid ointment under a doctor's guidance. These help dissolve comedones, kill Propionibacterium acnes, and improve keratinization of the follicular sebaceous duct.

2. Severe cases

For individuals who cannot tolerate or prefer not to use medications, or those with moderate-to-severe acne, photodynamic therapy or chemical peels (such as glycolic acid peels) may also be used. These treatments help eliminate Propionibacterium acnes, suppress sebaceous gland secretion, improve keratinization of the sebaceous ducts, and prevent the formation of acne scars.

These granules are often caused by irritating ingredients in cosmetics that damage the skin, leading to the formation of small white cysts during the healing process. Methods such as needle extraction, topical medications, and laser therapy can effectively remove fat granules around the eyes. However, it is important to visit a reputable medical facility and seek treatment from a qualified professional to avoid infection due to improper procedures.

Fatty granules growing at the corner of the eye

Fat granules around the eyes may result from long-term consumption of spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods, leading to excessive sebum production by the skin. They can also form when oily eye creams or facial moisturizers are applied around the eyes but cannot be fully absorbed, causing excess oil to accumulate. Additionally, individuals with naturally oily skin may develop fat granules if inadequate facial cleansing leads to clogged pores over time.
