When pimples develop at the corner of the eye, the following measures can be considered: 1. Keep the eye area clean: Use a gentle facial cleanser, especially one formulated for the eye area. Thoroughly clean the region around the eyes morning and evening to prevent the buildup of oil and dirt. 2. Avoid irritation: Do not squeeze or touch the pimples with your hands, as this may worsen inflammation or lead to infection. 3. Topical medications: Under a doctor's guidance, apply topical medications such as tretinoin cream or adapalene gel. These medications can help dissolve pimples and prevent their recurrence. 4. Improve lifestyle habits: Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late, as sleep deprivation may lead to hormonal imbalances that worsen pimple formation. Additionally, maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and fiber, and avoid spicy, greasy, or other irritating foods. 5. Professional treatment: If the pimples are severe or persist for a prolonged period, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist and consider more advanced treatments such as laser therapy.
