I'm just wondering...I keep getting red bumps near my eyes on and off since my dry eyes got worse. I have acne and often think that's what it is only most of the time I never got acne in certain areas (over the eye but under brow, or in the circle region under the eye.) Since having had blephex done I started to get tiny red bumps on and off which look like the milia (i think that's what they are called) getting inflamed. I don't have any pain when this happens, don't even notice until I look in the mirror. After blephex the first night I had tons of discharge coming out of my eyes.
Recently had a red bump over one eye, it started to go away now i have a bigger one under the other eye.
I have had very dry skin since this eye worsening issue too, and now have a lot of dry skin around my eyes.
Could it be that with blepharitis and extra bacteria being produced that I'm getting a lot of clogged pores around my eyes? And after blephex with that discharge being released maybe it helped cause blocked pores? Or could it be just that I have this extra dry skin issue and it ends up helping clog my pores?
Oh and I have had to stop doing warm compresses partly because the inflammation never went away from after I did blephex but also because if I use heat i can start to get a bump. However this was sometimes an issue way back in the day too when using warm cloths, I could get a pimple on the bridge of my nose for instance since heat can exacerbate acne.
I have rosacea too so not sure how that factors in as well.
For a while I was led to believe I might have lupus and I understand that you can sometimes have it and not know since the tests may come back okay but are not definitive. I recall reading of red bumps around eyes being a symptom. Does anyone here have lupus (definite diagnosis) and have this? I would get a patch of red skin in one eyebrow that does not fit the definition of acne at all and never have figured out what that is. I thought it might indicate lupus. However these other bumps typically are more like pimples.
I still have a dry mouth too, no explanation for that, they thought I had Sjogren's between the pretty severe case of dry eyes I have and the dry mouth so there are still "hints' that lupus could be there.
