SKIN LESIONS

We evaluate and treat a wide range of eyelid and periocular skin lesions, including chalazia caused by blocked oil glands, benign growths such as skin tags, eyelid cysts, and cholesterol deposits (xanthelasma), as well as cancerous eyelid lesions. Many of these conditions are harmless and may not require treatment unless they cause discomfort, interfere with vision, or are cosmetically concerning, in which case in-office minor surgical removal is available. Suspicious or recurrent lesions can be biopsied to rule out malignancy, and cancerous growths such as basal cell carcinoma can often be successfully treated with early surgical removal.
