A. A white spot on the upper lid of the eye in children can have several possible causes, such as: Chalazion: A common condition where a blocked oil gland in the eyelid forms a small, painless bump. It may appear white or yellowish in color. Stye (Hordeolum): A bacterial infection of the eyelash follicle or oil gland in the eyelid, often leading to a red or white bump. It can be tender or painful. Milia: Small, hard, white cysts that can appear on the eyelid due to trapped keratin (a protein in skin). Pinguecula: A benign, yellowish growth on the white part of the eye that may extend onto the eyelid. Causes: Blocked glands (like in chalazion or stye) Infection or inflammation Skin conditions (e.g., milia) Sun exposure (can lead to pinguecula) How to Avoid and Treat: Warm Compresses: For conditions like a chalazion or stye, applying a warm compress to the affected area several times a day can help relieve the blockage and promote healing. Hygiene: Keep the eye area clean to prevent infection. Gently wash the eyelid with warm water and mild soap. Avoid Squeezing: Don’t try to pop or squeeze the bump, as it could cause an infection or make it worse. Consult a Doctor: If the spot doesn’t go away, becomes painful, or is accompanied by redness or swelling, consult a pediatrician or an eye specialist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options. The condition is often harmless, but professional evaluation is important to rule out other causes and ensure proper treatment.
