The doctor advises on how to remove the atheroma from the eyelid
It is not necessary to visit a dermatologist, but directly to an ophthalmologist. It is the ophthalmologist who deals with the diseases of the protective apparatus of the eye. It is also important to conduct an ophthalmological examination. Although you recognize the mass on the eyelid as a atheroma, it is not necessarily this disease entity and the doctor should use differential diagnosis to rule out other causes of the pathological mass on the eyelid. In the case of atheroma, the procedure of choice is to excise or enucleate the lesion, the physician will decide on the method.
You should not try to get rid of the atheroma on your own. The procedure of enucleation of the lesion should be performed under sterile conditions, with due diligence, with attention to the eye. Such aspects are impossible to achieve at home, sterile gloves and a drape for the treatment area are needed. Sterilized instruments are also essential, and you may also need to have one or more sutures at the end of the procedure. Such a procedure allows to significantly reduce the risk atheroma wound infections, to avoid later hindered wound healing and the use of antibiotics.
First of all, ask your ophthalmologist what the treatment will look like, he or she will see the lesion, its size and location. On this basis, he will decide what the further treatment will look like and how to remove the lesion. The doctor will be happy to answer all bothering questions and tell more about the procedure, wound care and possible complications. Perhaps the lesion turns out not to be atheroma and will not require surgical treatment. Then the doctor will explain the treatment process, possible side effects of the ordered treatment and consider the differential diagnosis of the lesion.
