Flap of skin behind the upper eyelid

    Hello all! For a few years now I have noticed a flap of skin behind
    each of my upper eyelids - attached to the lower eyelid. It can be
    irritating at times, but I have grown used to it. I was wondering if
    it was natural (perhaps due to long term use of contact lenses) or if
    it should be removed. The flap is approx. 1cm in height and reaches
    each end of the eyelid. It feels slightly thicker than the eyelid
    itself and I am able to fold it freely with no pain.
    Sincerely,
    SC123

    Or I could be serious and hope for a serious answer.
