Brief Answer:
Melanoma of the eye

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. In my opinion according to your symptoms the skin cancer you have mentioned might be Melanoma of the eye. First thing we need to know if it is benign or malignant as the treatment differs. And also know till which extent is the disease as if it spreads to other surrounding structures the treatment may be different. Usually surgery is the best treatment which we can advice according to the type of the cancer and its extent.Post surgery chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be advised to treat the destroyed tumor.
Hope this answers your query. Get back if you have more.

Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
