Question 1

Accepted Answer

Question 2

what kind of doctor can remove a skin tag on my eyelid that's in my lashes?

Accepted Answer

An MD/DO Eye Doctor: Probably an ophthalmologist. They are most often comfortable operating about the eye. But often a skin tag can just be snipped off and it will not come back.  This needs to be done “just right”  not too deep (you might end up with a notced eyelid margin and not too shallow (it could grow back).

Question 3

i ordered this skin tag remover off of wish. i had a small skin tag on my eyelid so i started using the skin tag remover and it has caused a huge sore on my eyelid. what can i use on it to help it heal?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You should apply an antibiotic ointment, like neosporin ointment. If that does not afford relief in a couple of days it would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 4

can skin tags be cancerous? i have a skin tag on my eyelid, i was doing some research on the internet, and i read that sometimes skin tags are really the beginning stages of skin cancer. is it standard procedure to do a biopsy when one is removed?

Accepted Answer

Skin : Skin tags are benign lesions; however, occassionally a skin cancer, wart, seborrheic keratosis, or other growth can look somewhat similar to a skin tag.  A dermatologist is trained to differentiate between lesions and help determine if there is any risk (and biopsy when necessary).  I put up a picture of a skin tag below.

Question 5

does it hurt to get skin tag off of eyelid?

Accepted Answer

Not really: It is a minor surgical procedure done under local anesthesia.

Question 6

how can i remove a skin tag on the eyelid at home?

Accepted Answer

Don't: It is very important to remove all lesions properly.  That would minimize scarring and allow for proper diagnosis.  Scarring can lid to eyelid deformity and the lid turning outward and causing significant problems down the road.  See an ophthalmologist.

Question 7

i have little pimple like things on my eyelids look kinda like skin tags is there like an over the counter cream or do i need to go see someone?

Accepted Answer

Eyelid: This is likely a hordeolum or a cholazion.  These are types of infection to your eye lid. The first therapy is a warm moist compress. The primary problem is an infected duct to the lash or a gland called a meobian gland.  If you do not get a response to this in a day or so get checked. You may need an antibiotic ointment.
