  Eyelid cancer could be a suspicious lesion that you’ve noticed or a lump or bump that doesn’t quite look normal to you.
  It could be something that’s come quite gradually or something that’s come on quite suddenly. Things that I’d be concerned about and I would suggest you come and book in with us for would be if you notice it growing rapidly, affecting your vision, or if it bleeds quite easily or changes colour or pigment.
  A particular worrying feature would be if there’s loss of lashes in that area. That’s when I’m going to see you, take a detailed history, and perform surgical analysis if needed, send off to the lab, and then formulate a management plan going forward.
