Eyelid Disease
Seborrheic Keratosis is seen mainly in elderly individuals, a seborrheic keratosis lesion is usually pigmented, well demarcated, and slightly elevated. It is warty and crusted, and it often has a "stuck-on" appearance, with visible keratotic plugs.

A variant in Black and Asian Adults is called dermatosis papulosa nigra; it can involve the skin of the eyelids and cheeks.

Although seborrheic keratosis is benign, biopsy is occasionally necessary to exclude a premalignant or malignant lesion. Treatment is usually accomplished by shave excision or cryotherapy.
