A white spot has appeared on the inner eyelid.

A white spot appearing on the inner eyelid may be associated with conditions such as blepharitis, hordeolum (stye), acne, chalazion, or eye stones, and treatment should be directed according to the underlying cause.

1. Blepharitis

Inflammation of the eyelid glandular tissue can lead to blockage within the glands, forming a small, grain-like white bump on the inner eyelid. This may be accompanied by symptoms such as burning, itching, or irritation of the eyelid. Under medical guidance, topical anti-infective treatments such as erythromycin eye ointment, tobramycin eye drops, or fluorometholone eye drops may be used.

2. Hordeolum (Stye)

When the eyelid glands are inflamed, secreted oils may become thickened and congealed, forming a white spot. This condition may also present with eyelid redness, swelling, and pain. Under a doctor's supervision, medications such as levofloxacin hydrochloride eye drops, tobramycin eye drops, or norfloxacin eye drops can be used to control infection.

3. Acne

When hair follicles and sebaceous glands on the inner eyelid become inflamed or blocked, fluid accumulation may occur, leading to the formation of white pustular papules as described above. Mild cases may be managed with observation and follow-up. For more severe symptoms, medications such as erythromycin eye ointment, isotretinoin soft capsules, or metronidazole vitamin B6 tablets may be prescribed to shorten the treatment course.

4. Chalazion

This condition results from obstruction of the meibomian glands. Secretions accumulate locally, forming a cystic nodule that causes the aforementioned symptoms, possibly accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or foreign body in the eye. In early stages with mild symptoms, repeated warm compresses may help improve local blood circulation and reduce the size of the cyst. As advised by a physician, drainage procedures or surgical excision may be considered.

5. Eye Stones (Concretions)

Deposits of fat or protein on the conjunctiva can form small white or creamy-white spots, causing the symptoms described, possibly along with foreign body sensation or light sensitivity. Treatment under medical guidance may include tetracycline hydrochloride eye ointment, erythromycin eye ointment, or norfloxacin eye drops. In some cases, surgical removal may be performed by a healthcare provider.

If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
