Do you ever get eye thingies....🤨

[Ruthanne]

They are like skin tags but filled with a hard substance? I have gotten some in the past that a nurse tended to many years ago.

Now I have one on my bottom eye skin and it's annoying.

Have you ever had something like this? I'm anxious to hear your experience.

This is the best explanation I've ever seen.

Maybe blepharitis, which is an inflammation of the eyelid. Hot compresses and after a couple of days you can gently encourage it to ease out.

Thanks but they are like slate and attached to the skin. I'll try that but how often?

I don't know that I've had what is described, but I had 5 or 6 large milia, a seborrheic keratosis; other such unattractive nuisances to appear on my face. I went to the dermatologist. In a couple of instances, I was told something I wanted removed was considered "cosmetic," so it wouldn't be covered by my insurance. Insurance covered the visit, since I would have no way of knowing what it was except to get it checked out, but when the doctor said removal wasn't medically necessary, I had to pay out of pocket for that part. It wasn't a lot of money (less than $200) in my case.

because I suffer from an eye disease called blepharitis

When I have the problem, I do it about 5 days a day. I’m actually encouraged to do it once a day to avoid the problem. If I did all the little things in life, I’d have no hours left in the day.

Yes. I've got one under my left eye. I also happen to blind in that eye. No pain -- can't even feel it unless I reach up and touch it. I'm 91 and it just came out earlier this year. Not planning to do anything about it unless something changes.

By the way, for blepharitis I have been prescribed an antibiotic to use when I get styes which can be quite often or sometimes I go for a few months not having any at all.
