Little pimples on bottom eyelid?

[Cuppa-Love]

THis is not a big deal atm. But Kai has has one little pimple beneath the eyelash line on one eye for a month now. It has spread across most the eyeline now and just looks a bit red. I've tried BM and saline but it persists - and I won't see my Doctor LOL! What else could I try? Would an oatmeal milky solution help? I am about to try it now anyway, when he wakes up - will let oyu know. But what else?

is it on the eyelash line or below? sounds a little like an ingrown eyelash/stye
the old wives' tale for that one is to rub a gold ring on it - DP is prone to them when he's tired and run-down, we tried the gold ring thing and would you know it? it worked! maybe it was just the rubbing, not the gold, LOL.

hi anita! it's below the lash line so they're not styes, just like little "milk pimples"?

[Anita]

Oh sorry, I got that wrong! Sounds a little just like the pores have got a little blocked - they'll probably just go away by themselves. No other ideas, I'm afraid!

That's ok, no big deal. But they have been there for a whie - trying the bloody gold ring I'm afraid! LOL

[Anita]

Ha! Let me know if it works!

I think I know what it is and it may not go away for quite a while - forgotten what they're called though! Is the redness related to the pimple really or could it be because you're meddling with it that the redness has occurred. A lot of people get little growths around the eyelash lines and eyelids and the body does eventually reabsorb them. Wish I could give it name but it eludes me at the moment.

Leave it be unless you really think it's bacterial or needs some intervention.

Ok thanks Jodie ... the BM does help a touch but not much or for long. Will leave it alone if I can!!! hehe

Kai's eye was worse this morning - it will just not go away!!!!! But today it looked more dry and the red dots were bigger. It is still not in the lash line which seems odd to me? Even when I don't meddle with it, it is still there (and this is 2 weeks since my last post). Should it be gone by now? Is there nothign else i can try on it? WHat about that eyebright stuff???

You could try silica tissue salts.
