Experiences with

Xanthelasma

I believe the condition is called Xanthelasma? Thanks

Does anyone you know have a problematic skin condition such as xanthelasma, a cyst, lipoma or lumps and bumps on their skin which they would like treatment for? Perhaps doctors have told them their complaint is cosmetic and it can’t be treated on the NHS?

I have been using it for most everything for the past 3 years or so, my bad cholesterol is up, which doesn't particularly bother me, except that I have large yellow deposits around my eyes which I find ugly (xanthelasma). http://www2.philly.com/philly/health/coconut-oil-poison-saturated-fat-20180823.

Anyone else have Xanthelasma around their eyes? I had noticed these develop last summer out of nowhere (pre diagnosis) and my cholesterol levels are perfect. It’s quiet frustrating trying to cover them up and they stick out like a sore thumb. Looking for ways to treat them other than Sx.

Anybody with xanthelasma any advice would be lovely. It's a vanity thing and hate them already.

I mentioned the xanthelasma and he said that they will run a cholesterol test. I am 8 and a half stone, skin and bones and eat a low cholesterol diet. I cannot really lower it can I?

I have a xanthelasma on my eyelid and my mum has very high cholesterol too. Sorry for the long post just wanted to tell my story so far. I'm having blood tests this week so will find out what my numbers are soon. Thanks
