Red bump on eyelid - how do I get rid of it? (photos)

Asked By:klu2023 in San Diego, California

Hello - I’m a female in my 30s who had this small-ish red, pimple-like bump pop up on my right eyelid about 8 months ago. My dermatologist tried zapping it 3-4 times with the electrodessication machine and it would immediately resolve but come back every time. It hasn’t changed much in shape or size over the past year. My dermatologist didn’t share any other treatments for this. What is this annoying red bump and how do I get rid of it?

Answer: Hyfrecation can help remove this followed by a light laser to help reduce appearance if scarring becomes present.
