Mark on Eyelids

I have marks on the sides on my eyelid next to nose on each side that appear to look like the size and colour of a rice krispie. Does anyone know what might cause this? It has been there for months now.

I have one of those marks. My doctor spotted it and told me that my cholesterol was high. When I had my cholesterol checked, it was critically high.

Your problem is one of those things that only an in person exam by an Eye MD ophthalmologist can make. Find one at www.aao.org   Usually non malignant growths like papilloma.
