Eye lesion: Only by seeing it, a doc can tell whether it is in need of removal or can be left alone. If it is bothering you, this should come out. You may either send a pic or request a private consult through this site or see a physician locally.

A mole: Is a collection of pigment-containing cells. Uncommonly they can turn to cancer. Most moles should be observed for changes. Your ophthalmologist will do this for you with photos of the mole.

See doctor: See an eye doctor or dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendation. Depending on whether the mole or lesion is located on the eyelid or on the eyeball, it could be a very simple or complex procedure.
