Trachoma can cause itchy skin and conjunctival congestion. It poses significant harm to the human body, and severe cases may lead to blindness. In addition, if not treated promptly, it may result in complications such as ptosis (drooping eyelid), corneal opacity, and symblepharon (adhesion between eyelid and eyeball). It is important to maintain good eye hygiene in daily life and avoid rubbing the eyes to prevent bacterial infection. Avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening of inflammation.
