Honestly, don't rely on photos online for something serious like cancer. They can be misleading. Best to get any suspicious growth or change around your eyelid checked by a real doctor. Self-diagnosis se darr lagta hai.

Yes, it can look like many things. Some people say it starts like a persistent sty or a small bump that doesn't go away. Always worth getting it looked at.

Eyelid cancer can present in various ways, from a small nodule or bump to a sore that doesn't heal, or even a change in skin texture. Given the delicate area, it's crucial to consult an ophthalmologist for an accurate diagnosis rather than relying on internet images.

I've seen so many things that look harmless turn out to be something else. For eyelids, it could be a small growth, or a wound that doesn't heal. Don't waste time on home remedies for this, just get a professional opinion.

Haan na, it can be tricky to tell just from pictures. Sometimes it's a small lump, other times it might look like a red patch or an ulcer. It's better to show it to an eye specialist for proper diagnosis.
