Xanthelasma are cholesterol deposits that appear as yellow growths, either flat or slightly raised, on or around the eyelids.
These growths may be removed and stitched, however the risk of recurrence is higher than for other types of skin growths.
Some studies show up to 40% risk of recurrence in the long-term. Seeing your family physician to assess and control your serum cholesterol may lower risk of recurrence.
