Eyelid Carcinomas

Eyelid carcinomas are types of skin cancer that develop on the eyelids, which are the thin folds of skin that protect the eyes. These cancers usually arise from the skin cells and are most often linked to sun exposure. Common types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and sebaceous gland carcinoma. Symptoms may include changes in the skin, such as growths, sores, or unusual swelling. While they can be serious, eyelid carcinomas are often treatable, especially when detected early. Regular check-ups and sun protection can help reduce the risk of developing these cancers.
