Papillomas under the eye are neoplasms of a viral nature that have different shapes and may not cause physical discomfort, but are considered a cosmetic defect since they are located in a noticeable place. Most often they must be removed. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe a combination treatment.

Types of papillomas under the eyes

Any papillomas are a medical problem and require treatment or systematic monitoring. However, neoplasms in the eye area are considered the most “inconvenient”. They can occur on the upper, lower eyelid or both, as well as at the eyelash edge itself. Sometimes they affect the mucous membrane of the eye, causing severe discomfort.

Various types of growths caused by HPV may appear on or near the eyelids. There are these types of papillomas under the eyes:

1. Keratopapillomas. They look like a group of small papillary growths. The lesion extends only to the upper layer of the epidermis. Such formations have a narrow stem, which is very easy to damage. This is the most common group of neoplasms on the eyelids.
2. Fibropapillomas. Visually, these growths can look exactly the same as keratopapillomas. Their difference from the latter is that they affect the deeper layers of the epidermis. Also, papillomas under the eye grow with blood vessels and can increase in size. Removing such growths is much more difficult, as there is a risk of bleeding and inflammation.
3. Flat papillomas. In appearance, these neoplasms resemble a flat nodule that protrudes slightly above the surface of the skin. Such small papillomas under the eyes are quite rare. Read about ways to treat flat papillomas on the face.

Causes of papillomas under the eye

Papillomas of any location are caused by HPV, a virus that has many varieties and is highly active (virulent). This pathogen belongs to the group of the most numerous and widespread viruses.

There are several ways to transmit HPV. Among them, the main place is occupied by the sexual tract. Moreover, this can be vaginal, anal or oral contact. Also, quite often the virus is transmitted in everyday life through contact with an infected person or his personal items. It remains active for a particularly long time in humid places. Therefore, locations such as swimming pools, saunas, and shared showers are a “favorite” place for the papillomavirus. Also, in rare cases, HPV can be transmitted from mother to child through the birth canal - the so-called vertical transmission route.

There are also factors that accompany the development of the disease. These include: a general decrease in immunity, hypothermia, stress, taking antibiotics, hormonal imbalance, previous infectious diseases, etc.
