Question
Recently, a swelling has been noticed around the orbital area. Initially, it was thought that it would resolve naturally, but the condition has gradually worsened, accompanied by slight itching, which has limited social activities. How should one deal with a tumor on the upper eyelid?
Answer
Eyelid tumors may be caused by chalazion or pituitary adenoma, both of which are common on the upper eyelid and are related to poor eye hygiene, bacterial infections, hot weather, and excessive body heat. These two eye conditions particularly favor individuals with excessive sebaceous gland secretion. The initial symptoms of chalazion are similar to those of a stye. If accompanied by bacterial infection, it is recommended to seek medical examination and appropriate treatment promptly.
