Doctor can evaluate: A middle-aged or older adult with a skin lesion producing mucus and not healing, should see the ENT specialist to find out what it is. It might be a rare cancer called primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin, which is an extremely rare skin cancer originating from sweat glands. The cancer usually occurs on the head and neck, with a commonly involved area being the periorbital region, near the eyes.
