I am 45 years old female. My weight is 74 and my height is 5.1 ft. My cholesterol is 211. Above my eyes on the skin I have fatty balls growing on the exteriors. Is there a medication to remove this?

People with high cholesterol general have yellowish deposits underneath the skin around the eyelids called xanthelasma. While they are neither harmful nor painful, these minor growths may be disfiguring and can be removed. Xanthelasmata can be removed with a surgerical excision, trichloroacetic acid peel, lasers or cryotherapy.
