Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Eyelid lump. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

• How long have you had the eyelid lump? - to determine if acute or chronic.
• Past history of skin cancers? - may indicate increased risk of eyelid basal cell cancers (BCC), squamous cell cancers (SCC) and malignant melanomas of the eyelid.
• Past medical history? - e.g. xanthelasma may be associated with diabetes, hardening of the arteries and high cholesterol; ocular herpes is caused by a reactivation of varicella zoster virus (acquired from primary infection of chickenpox) sometimes by an underlying malignancy (e.g. leukaemia or lymphoma) or immunosupression ( e.g. AIDS infection).
