Every person on the body has such defects as papilloma.This education is not dangerous, but causes the patient discomfort about his appearance. Especially unpleasant, when the papilloma jumped on a century. It can be treated, but only under the supervision of a doctor who will not only prescribe a therapy regimen, but will also follow the healing process in order to avoid complications.

Definition of tumors

Papilloma on the eyelid is a benign formation, which is the growth of epithelial skin.If you look at such outgrowths, you can notice that they have a wide base or foot.

To benign formations can also include xantelasms - accumulations of the lipid layer in the surface layers of the skin of the eyelids. But the conjunctival cysts are already referred to as malignant neoplasms that preceded oncological diseases.

Causes

Transmission of papillomas occurs sexually, during childbirth and by contact-household way.Sometimes one touch of an infected person is enough to have a birthmark of this kind in a healthy person through time.

The insidiousness of this pathology is that from the moment of infection it can take a long time until the first symptoms appear.The virus of the papilloma is the main cause of skin defect development.It can be concentrated in the human body in an inactive state. Until now, it has not been possible to determine the exact causes of the development of the papilloma, but most often this is due to the influence of the sun or weakened immunity.

Symptoms

The main feature, which can diagnose papilloma on the eyelid, is its appearance.It is a growth that does not allow the eye to fully blink. A person does not experience any painful sensations.

Do not make a diagnosis yourself, because for this you need to pass certain tests.

Types of papillomas

Papillomas on the eyelid can be of various types:

1. Skin papillomas (warts). They can be concentrated not only on the eyelids, but also on the neck, hands. Most often, these growths occur in adolescents. With reduced immunity, multiple appearance is possible. The duration of the incubation period is six months.
2. Simple papillomas (vulgar). Their appearance resembles dense formations with a horny surface. The diameter of the birthmark is 1 mm. If papillomas are single, then they can exist for a long time, while they do not change their appearance.

The peculiarity of vulgar papillomas is that they quickly degenerate into tumors.

Complications

As a rule, papillomas themselves do not lead to complications, but as a result of reduced immunity, the inflammatory processes of the eyelids and eyes can additionally take place. If the neoplasms are large enough, it causes discomfort to the eyes, causing symptoms similar to conjunctivitis:

• redness of the conjunctiva;
• lacrimation;
• swelling of the eyelids;
• in some cases purulent discharge.

If the last symptom was noticed, then the eye started inflammation due to trauma to the mucous membrane.This is fraught with the development of blepharitis, keratitis, infectious conjunctivitis of streptococcal form, uveitis and others.
