What is the fleshy thing inside canthus eye shape


Guiding you with care, every step of the way.
My personal opinion on this question is that if we look in the mirror and see a fleshy mass at the inner corner of the eye, this is the tear caruncle. The tear caruncle is a normal tissue structure of the eye. The tear caruncle is a small bulge at the inner canthus, about 5 mm high and 3 mm wide. It is yellowish red. The tear caruncle is abnormal skin tissue between the skin and the mucous membrane. The surface of the tear caruncle is keratinized stratified epithelium, and there are sebaceous glands, sweat glands, tear caruncle glands and fine hairs. Therefore, if the patient finds a flesh-like bulge in the corner of his eye when looking in the mirror, then don't be nervous at this time. This is our lacrimal caruncle area, which is the normal structure of the eye. If this lacrimal caruncle area suddenly enlarges and turns red, then at this time I suggest that we go to the ophthalmology clinic for examination to rule out inflammatory changes.
