Introduction

In general, small growths around the corners of the eyes may be caused by conditions such as milia, styes, warts, xanthelasma, or sweat gland tumors. These can be improved through treatments like needle extraction, chemical peels with fruit acids, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, carbon dioxide laser therapy, or electrocautery. However, treatment effectiveness varies from person to person. If treatment is needed, it is recommended to consult a reputable hospital for professional evaluation and appropriate management.

In general, small granules around the corners of the eyes may be caused by conditions such as milia, styes, warts, xanthelasma palpebrarum, or syringomas. These can be improved through treatments including needle extraction, chemical peels with fruit acids, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, carbon dioxide laser therapy, and electrocautery. However, treatment effectiveness varies from person to person. If treatment is desired, it is recommended to consult a qualified medical professional at a正规 hospital for appropriate diagnosis and management.

Analysis of methods for improving eye corner granules:

Cause	Milia	Stye	Wart	Xanthelasma Palpebrarum	Syringoma
Treatment Method	Needle Extraction	Chemical Peel (AHA)	Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy	Carbon Dioxide Laser	Electrocautery
Image Example
Principle of Treatment	A fine needle punctures the epidermis above the milia, allowing the contents to be squeezed out	Promotes exfoliation of the stratum corneum and unclogs pores	Uses low temperature to shrink and reduce the size of the lesion	Utilizes photothermal energy to carbonize or vaporize the lesion	Uses high-frequency electrical current to destroy affected tissue, causing it to denature, necrose, and fall off
Target Population	Suitable for individuals with small granules near the eye corners	Ideal for those with thickened skin layers and severe pore blockage	Suitable for individuals with granules on the eyes or other facial areas	Suitable for individuals with granules on the eyes or other facial areas	Suitable for individuals with larger areas of granules near the eye corners
Advantages	1. Minimal trauma 2. Effective results	1. Low cost 2. Simple procedure	1. Minimal damage to surrounding healthy skin 2. Noticeable results	1. Improves overall skin condition 2. Effective results	1. Enhances aesthetic appearance of the eyes 2. Minimal invasiveness
Potential Risks	1. Pain 2. Scarring	1. Stinging sensation 2. Possible damage to the skin barrier	1. Risk of frostbite to the skin 2. Possible hyperpigmentation	1. Risk of skin burns 2. Risk of infection	1. Risk of scarring 2. Risk of infection
Reference Price	50–300 RMB per session	800–2,000 RMB per session	800–2,000 RMB per session	500–2,000 RMB per session	500–1,000 RMB per session

In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid oily or spicy foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers, and spicy crayfish, which may help reduce the risk of developing granules around the eyes.

How many days is drainage of pleural effusion usually required?

Chest fluid drainage usually takes 3–7 days; most patients complete fluid removal and achieve clinical stability within this period, although the exact duration should be dynamically adjusted based on treatment response. If fever, worsening chest pain, or abnormal drainage fluid occurs during the process, prompt medical evaluation is recommended. The length of drainage primarily depends on the underlying cause of the fluid accumulation.
