Pimples around the eyes can be addressed with the following measures:
1. Keep the eye area clean: Use mild, non-irritating eye makeup removers regularly to thoroughly remove cosmetics and prevent pore blockage caused by makeup residue.
2. Warm compress: Gently place a warm, damp towel over the affected area for several minutes to help improve blood circulation, relieve eye fatigue and swelling, and provide some antibacterial effects.
3. Topical ointments: If the pimples are accompanied by symptoms such as redness, swelling, or pain, consider applying ointments containing ingredients like benzocaine or sulfur, such as erythromycin ophthalmic ointment or chlortetracycline ophthalmic ointment, to combat bacterial infection and inflammation and promote healing.
4. Professional treatment: If the pimple is large or symptoms persist or worsen, seek timely medical advice from a qualified physician. The doctor may recommend more advanced treatments such as laser therapy.
5. Preventive measures: Maintain cleanliness of the eye area and surrounding skin; avoid using harsh cosmetics; maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamin C; avoid prolonged eye strain; when using anti-wrinkle eye creams or other skincare products, choose those suitable for your skin type and avoid excessive massaging or pulling of the delicate eye area.
