A mole at the base of the upper eyelash can be caused by a variety of reasons, and this should be taken seriously. The appearance of a mole may be the result of skin pigmentation, or it may be due to local skin irritation or injury. If the shape, size, or color of the mole changes, or if it is accompanied by pain, itching, or other discomfort, it may be a sign of a skin lesion, requiring further observation and diagnosis.
Another factor relates to the nature of the mole. If the mole is located in a sensitive area like the eyelid, it may change due to friction or irritation. If the mole grows rapidly, darkens abnormally, becomes irregular in shape, or even bleeds or ulcerates, the possibility of malignant transformation, such as melanoma, should be considered, requiring immediate medical attention for a professional examination.
Patients must know that any mole located on the eyelid, especially those that change shape, size, or color, can pose a threat to eye health. When a new mole appears on the eyelid, seek medical attention promptly and avoid self-treatment to prevent unnecessary damage. At the same time, do not ignore any accompanying symptoms, such as pain, itching, or bleeding, as these may be signs of disease progression.
[Prevention Tips:]
1. Regularly check the eyelid area and pay attention to any changes in the shape, size, and color of moles.
2. Avoid using cosmetics or skincare products that may irritate the skin around the eyes.
3. Reduce friction on the eyelids and avoid wearing contact lenses for extended periods.
4. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep your eyes clean, and avoid infection.
