A member asked:

Mom has tiny red flat dot like thing on her upper eyelid. its not a stye, it doesnt hurt. no symptoms. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Red dot: Such a red small lesion may be a hemangioma which is a tiny growth of capillaries(tiny blood vessels) in the skin. However her physician or dermatologist would have to inspect it for diagnosis.
