a kind of magic

We really don't seem to be having much luck at the moment!
There has been a patch of dry looking skin on our mare's upper eyelid since the beginning of the summer, we put it down to a rub as a couple of years previously she did nearly manage to poke her eye out with a bramble and the pierced skin was exactly where this dry patch was, so we put it down to her being clumsy.
She lives out 24/7 so we don't make a habit of brushing willy nilly but today after she was bombarded by birds and covered in bird poo (somehow also under her rug!) we gave her a top-to-toe pamper, whilst sponging around her eyes I knocked the dry patch and underneath it looked red and angry, and somewhat lumpy. It looks to be an occult sarcoid, I got hubby to take a quick pic and we are phoning the veterinary surgery tomorrow, but I wondered if in the meantime anyone could take a look at the photo and say if they think it is a sarcoid?
I haven't resized the pic as I thought the bigger the better.
We've owned her since she was 3 months old and she is 4 in May, no other lesions anywhere on her body.
If anyone has any experience of occult sarcoids any info would be greatly appreciated, obviously being so close to her eye will make it a bugger to treat!
