Small Growths (Skin Tumors): Small growths on or around your eyelids sometimes appear around or on the lids with a flesh color appearance, most when evaluated are benign. There are times when the growth can be a form of skin cancer. Some growths have a mole appearance and have a different color or increase in growth. If you have the typical skin growth (skin tumor) and it is found not to be cancerous, this may be removed in our minor surgical suite in our office. Other larger growths or growths that are possible skin cancer may require treatment at our eye surgery center by our board certified ophthalmologist. Once removed, your growth will be sent for evaluation. When reviewed by our pathology specialists, the physician will determine the course of treatment, if any. Only your Middlesex Eye Physicians ophthalmologist can biopsy and evaluate your skin tumor. |
