Inflamacion parpado ojo izquierdo?
If you’ve ever experienced redness or swelling in your left eye and have found yourself on this page, look no further! We’re about to dive into inflamación del párpado del ojo izquierdo (inflammation of the eyelid) with a funny twist.
What is inflamación del párpado del ojo izquierdo anyways?
In simplest terms, inflamación del párpado del ojo izquierdo is just inflammation or swelling of the eyelid on your left eye. This condition can occur for many reasons, from allergies and infections to injuries and long-term use of contact lenses.
Some common symptoms that come with inflamed eyelids include:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Irritation
- Dry eyes
- Itching
Don’t fret if you checked almost all these boxes already; it’s nothing we (or better yet – science!) can’t handle. Here are some things you should do immediately:
- Wash face with lukewarm water.
- Place warm compress over left eyelid for 5 minutes three times per day.
- Avoid touching affected area(s).
- Stop using make-up products around irritations until healed.
Alternatively, anti-inflammatory pills may be prescribed by medical professionals.
But wait… What causes this type of inflammation?
What doesn’t cause inflammations really? A few possibilities that could lead to an irritated/elevated situation around either one of those two lovely ocular organs could include general allergies (having reactions due routine non-diamond-pillowcase change), makeup application gone wrong (obviously not everyone has equally adept contouring tendencies)\mindlettingflickbrushgetcontacteyewithcornea scenario ‘nudging’ aside…there are also other more biological possibilities too.
For example, one of the most common causes is a blocked oil gland in your eyelid (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). But don’t let that scary word combo get to you – this just means that oil-producing glands located in your eye lids have stopped functioning properly because they’re either clogged or not producing enough oils to lubricate the eye.
Other possible causes include:
– Bacterial infections
– Viral conjunctivitis
– Ingestion of harmful substances (I know it’s tempting but you can’t eat glue anymore)
– Blepharitis
Don’t worry if half these options sound like make-believe Maladies out of an 18th century physician’s journal, we got every las’ one hook-ed-up with e-x-tra information for good measure 🙂
What should I do if none of these listed tips work?
If after attempting our suggested home remedies (and those recommended by medical professionals), and symptoms still persist – fret not my friend!
In more severe cases where swelling persists or sight may become obstructed due to inflammation it’s important to seek treatment from a licensed Ophthalmologist who will provide an extensive exam concerned with visual acuity and all other such cool things. Mostly though they’ll recommend topical steroids which are sure as heck more appealing than orally ingesting actual steroids unless ‘roid-rage’ is part of what makes you so endearing.
Keep in mind that unusual and persistent inflammation around any body part should never be ignored!
To sum up!
All said and done inflamación del párpado del ojo izquierdo definitely isn’t fun; besides having people look at us strange when walking down roads staring off only on the right-hand side…so don’t leave anything unturned! Cleanse injuries even slight ones, avoid potentially irritating products altogether during healing times, think twice before self-diagnosing and see a professional for assurance that all is well.
This concludes our journey through inflamed eyelids. Happy healing!
