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

    these chappies?

    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. 😉

    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.

    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!!

    Nice T666DOM!

    And while everyone is barfing, consider


    Demodecid (Demodex folliculorum)

    which everyone has. They live at the bottom of your eyelashes and hair follicles and enjoy the lovely sebum there
