Suggest Complications Conjunctival Biopsy

I am a 17 year old girl with a conjunctival nevus on the caruncle of my left eye. It started at thanksgiving last year and has grown to be a little over one mm. It is dark but doesn t hurt. The opthamologist said I could get it biopsied but I am wondering about biopsy complications and scars.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with conjunctival nevus.
You can undergo excision biopsy.
It is a simple procedure and can be done under local anesthesia without any problems.
Any ophthalmologist will be able to do this.

Thank you
