Eyelid Carcinoma

Eyelid carcinoma refers to cancer that develops on the eyelids, which are the thin folds of skin that protect the eyes. This type of cancer is often linked to sun exposure, fair skin, and aging. There are different forms, with basal cell carcinoma being the most common. Symptoms may include unusual growths, changes in the skin, or sores that don’t heal. Early detection is vital for effective treatment. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation, or topical therapies. Regular eye exams and protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure can help reduce the risk.
