Growth on eyelid

2021-12-21 09:11:12
I am currently not in India. I visited an ophthalmologist regarding a growth on my eyelid (photo attached) . He said it looks like a mole and suggested removal via excision biopsy. I have had it since almost 2 yrs but in last 6 months it has grown in size and turned redder. Wanted a second opinion on diagnosis and if any other treatments available. Thanks.
