Eyelid lesion

Condition Information

A lesion is any damage or abnormal change in the tissue, in this case, the skin of the eyelid.

There is no designated classification or naming convention for lesions.  Because the definition is so broad, the varieties of lesions are virtually endless.  Generally, lesions may be classified by their patterns, sizes, or causes.

Treatment Information

In order to repair damage caused by the lesion we will perform an excisional biopsy where your doctor will remove the damaged or abnormal tissue from your eyelid and close the area.  Your doctor will then perform a study of the cells that were removed to determine the cause of the lesion.

Treatment will vary based on the cause of the lesion.
