Have Skin Growth On Lower Eyelid. What Should Be Done?
Question: i have a something like tiny extra skin on my lower eyelid.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The small extra skin on the lower eyelid could be due to a skin tag or a pterygium. A direct examination is the best way to get it diagnosed. Most of the times such skin tags do not pose any health problems but for cosmetic purposes, it is best to get these removed surgically as a small day care procedure under local anaesthesia.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
