How to remove benign nevi around the eyes?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My fiancé is 31 years old and has skin tags around his eyes. I can share a picture if needed. Could you please recommend a safe over-the-counter cream for removing them?
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understood your concern.
I am glad you are paying attention to changes in your body; that is important. But do not worry, I am here to help take care of you. Based on the symptoms and the picture you sent (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity), I believe your friend may have a skin condition called benign nevi. This could have developed from frequent sun exposure or changes in cosmetic products.
Although it is typically harmless, it is considered a premalignant skin lesion, which means it could potentially turn malignant if not properly treated. Please have him undergo a skin biopsy and share the results with me. For definitive treatment, I suggest he consider laser beam therapy to remove the skin tags.
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
Thank you.
