I Have A Rather Significant Skin Colored "tag" On The
I have a rather significant skin colored "tag" on the inside of my water line. Can it be removed surgically? Will it go away if I apply a warm wash cloth with a little baby shampoo several times a day? Is there an ointment that will make it go away? Should I stop wearing eye makeup? I do have dry eyes and I use REFRESH. I stopped using RESTATSIS when I read it can cause a brain tumor. I also have a macula hole in my retina in my affected left eye and have (0) central vision in that eye. I do see peripherally. My right eye has had successful cataract surgery and that eye compensates for my other eye and I no longer need glasses. I am 77 and have passed my driver's test. I am under the care of an ophthalmologist but I would be interested in what you have to say, esp. about the (what I call) skin tag. Also, I won't know if there will be a charge until I click Ask A Doctor Now, but I am on Social Security and cannot pay you for your opinion, but I do thank you very much. Dee
