Wounds
Wounds, in any part of the body, are very susceptible to infections. Eyelids are no exception to this. Wounds or gashes near the eye and nasal area can cause bacteria to fester, eventually leading to styes and other inflammations. Furthermore, wounds left untreated are prime breeding grounds for bacteria-caused inflammations. And an infection stemming from a gash is hard to manage as there are practically two issues in one location.
A study showed that wounds can get infected as early as 1 to 3 days. It is a prime location for bacteria to enter the bloodstream. When bacteria manage to enter the body, infections and inflammations start to develop.
Wounds around the nasal and eye area are susceptible to infections unless treated with care. Bacteria entering through a gash in this area can cause inflammations like a stye. Moreover, wounds take time to heal. This raises more concern about the safety and hygiene of areas like the eyes and nasal area. Bacteria also slow down wound healing, inevitably raising the risks of causing inflammation.
