We assume that you are referring to conjunctival nevus.

The procedure in which the eye nevus is removed is quite straightforward in most cases. It involves a local excision involving eye drop anaesthesia.

If the nevus is large, the eye surgeon may opt to do conjunctiva patch graft harvested from the under the eyelid or the other eye. The eye surgeon may elect to apply anti-scarring (Mitomycin C) agent to prevent post-op conjunctiva scarring.

It is important to avoid exposure to sunlight for the first two months.

Who is eligible for LASIK and Lenticule Treatments? LASIK or lenticule treatments like SMILE and the upcoming CLEAR by Ziemer are refractive laser surgeries that can be done from 18 to 60 years old, including people with presbyopia. The aim is to reduce our dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Are LASIK and Lenticule Treatments Suitable for People Close to Presbyopic Age? For those who are close to presbyopic age, I usually offer a trial of monovision with trial frames (trial glasses in the clinic) and aim for a small residual myopia of about 100degree in the non-dominant eye.

What could be the cause of an itchy red patch that does not go away after applying moisturizer and antibiotic cream?

Hi, Your child's rash is very well circumscribed, red and a bit scaly. It appears to be a fungal infection. This is a common rash caused by fungus, and it should respond well to an antifungal cream. Some doctors might prescribe an antifungal - mild steroid cream combination. You can bring your child to see a doctor or even do a telemedicine E-consult for convenience.
