Doctor's answer:

As it grows, it resembles the appearance of a bayberry, and it is prone to bleeding if scratched. Some patients may have the potential for malignancy.

Since the triggers for orbital disease and eye tumors are diverse, it is essential to identify the cause before treatment to adopt targeted therapy for effective results. Additionally, daily nursing measures are indispensable. It is advised to drink more water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
