ICD-Code H00.0: Hordeolum and other deep inflammation of eyelid

The glands in your eyelid are inflamed.

The eyelids along with the lashes are located above and under the eye. They protect the eye from injuries and drying out. Fat, muscles, and several glands are included in the eyelid, among other things. The glands produce some partly fatty elements for the layer of fluid on the eye.

The sebaceous glands in your eyelid have suddenly been inflamed by bacteria. As a result, a lump has formed on your eyelid. The site is usually red and painful. When pus empties out of the lump, the symptoms usually fade away quickly. These inflammations are usually favored by a weakened immune system.
