Hello,
I do not really know if these are cholesterol deposits that I have on my eyes (someone told me that)… I am 22 now and about 6 years ago, these little pimples started to occur on my eyes lids. They are very small in size and are hard when touched (for example, I cannot squeeze them). How can I remove them? They are really bothering me and also look very unaesthetic.
Hey there,
Yes they are cholesterol deposits and mean collections of fatty substances in the skin. They are also called xanthomas. I think dermatologist can remove them, but I think it won’t take a while before they return. Maybe you should talk to dermatologist or some other specialist and ask them, what the long term treatment is, so these deposits won’t come back.
