Hello, trachoma is a contagious eye disease primarily caused by infection with pathogenic organisms. In affected individuals, the conjunctiva becomes uneven and bumpy; in severe cases, complications such as ectropion (eyelid eversion) or even blindness may occur. Trachoma typically does not resolve spontaneously, and patients should seek medical treatment at a hospital as early as possible to facilitate faster recovery. Additionally, maintaining good ocular hygiene is essential to prevent further progression of the disease. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
