Xanthelasma - How can i get rid of these from my eyes?.. pics included.

[Jessica Martin]

Hi all,

Hoping you may have some insight (excuse the pun) on my eye situation.

These marks I now know to be due to my high cholesterol first developed around 3 years ago. They have slowly but surely got larger over time.

Have had genetic testing for FH which came back negative but stayed that I must still consider myself FH as my mother @Elderflower j58 who is a forum member also has high cholesterol.

My dilemma is, the docs want me on statins which I am unsure of as they did not help my mother. But they do reduce cholesterol, so would that reduce/remove the marks on my eyes?

The doc has offered surgical removal but in the same sentence said there is a high chance they will grow back.

Am I at more risk of a heart attack because of these marks? As other people with high cholesterol do not have them? Also will they eventually take over my whole face?

Naturally I would prefer not to have white patches above my eyes for vanities sake.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance

Jess

Removal by laser comes to mind but recurrence probability is high after a few years.

It’s intriguing why the organism uses this place of all places for this phenomenon.

The Skin/tissue there is very thin. That may be a chance for trying to modulate the metabolic situation of the loyal tissue to suppress recurrence. Maybe by PPAR-receptors.

I don't agree with everything he says in other videos (particularly about being in perpetual ketosis being healthy) but this video may be useful to watch. He suggests that taking a purified bile salt supplement would help.

Any thoughts on this, you need to be brave.
From my personal research looks like whatever Road you go they always return.
Some people say they disappear then return I wonder if this to do with cholesterol going up and down or liver problems.
My cholesterol is higher than my daughter's who is the thread starter and I don't have these on my eyelids but I do have the arch grey shadow on my pupil.

Forgot to mention it seems some people with normal cholesterol also get Xanthelasma's
So maybe @Iceman2016 video can direct us to the root cause.
