Skin cancer often involves the skin of the eyelid
or adjacent face. Eyelid skin cancers occur most
often on the lower eyelid, but may be found anywhere
on the eyelid margins, corners of the eye, eyebrow
skin, or areas surrounding the eye.
Usually they appear as painless elevations or
nodules. Occasionally, the eyelashes are distorted
or missing. There may be ulcerations of the involved
area, along with bleeding, crusting, and/or distortion
of the normal skin structure. A biopsy may be
required to confirm the diagnosis of skin cancer.
