Today we will look at a topic that is often encountered in medicine - injury-proof eye follicles. These are subcutaneous formations consisting of connective tissues and other components that perform protective functions and help the visual organs withstand stress and resist microscopic damage. This often explains why many people do not welcome contact with them.

These traumatic eye follicles are not always located under the eye, but usually have a red tint, similar to the color of the skin. Also, the follicles can be painful to the touch and have a diameter of up to several millimeters.
Trachoma is a disease that causes a constant inflammatory process in the eyeball area. It manifests itself in the form of bundles of superficial blood vessels, which indicates a violation of the blood supply to the orbit.
Typically, trachoma folliculitis develops after injury, removal of part of the eyelash, or the use of chemicals. However, a common symptom may be redness with the formation of clusters of red small nodules that resemble soft nodules or clusters of air bubbles. Red patches may progress to the mouth, throat, or other parts of the body, including the reproductive organs.

Various methods are used to treat and prevent the development of trachomatic follicles, such as laser therapy, the administration of anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. If there is severe swelling, placing a bandage around the eye can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
