[Closed] Those wee growth thingies on your eyelids, will i die?

Might regret this, but pics?

Eyelashes? I think they're OK.
Not sure what else though. There's a full list of eyelid diseases here.

I've got a couple of small ones. My wife suggested 'getting them burned off at the doctors'. I declined.

Salt spots that's what they are.

I suffered for years, small white thingies that my mother would pick out with a small needle, once she'd gotten bored of that torture I carried on.
I don't get many anymore, they seem to have dissipated somewhat so say I get about 10 or so a year.

I still get a small needle to them, break the surface gently then a gentle squeeze.

I went to the Docs years ago about them, said nothing to worry about, nothing to be done about them ( I thought they were zits at one point ) Doc recommended the needle method, I sterilise it first mind.

Have fun. 😉

its the ones that grow right on where the hairs come out, look like worms about 2mm+ long

i do/did get salt spots called em "white heads" and pick them out with needle too.

@samuri please no more links i get paraniod that my eye will fall out!!! 😀

Skin tags, tie off tightly with a bit of cotton. It'll just drop leaving no marks

Sounds like skin tags to me. And yes, they are harmless.

Ahhh skin tags, yes I have a few too.

I tie cotton around it/them...

I use the needle method, just rip then out with it.

I tie cotton around it/them...

..tie the other end to the handle of a door then slam it shut?

When I was at Uni a pathology lecturer showed us a slide of an eye with 'white things' around the base of the eye lashes, turned out they were lice eggs........pubic ones!!!! Enjoy!!
