Eyelid Cancer Symptoms

Symptoms of Eyelid Cancer

Skin cancer of the eyelids may not show symptoms in its early stages. Common symptoms that may appear include:

  • A spreading growth on the eyelid that can be red, brown or black
  • Broken skin on the eyelid that does not heal
  • Change in appearance of the eyelid skin
  • Chronic infection of the eyelid
  • Loss of eyelashes
  • Swelling or thickening of the eyelid

Eyelid cancer can sometimes look like other conditions, such as blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids). If you have any of these symptoms, visit your eye care specialist for a comprehensive eye exam.
