I'm really worried because I've got these lipid deposits around my eyes. I've been taking medication for my cholesterol, but these deposits just aren't going away. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The deposits near your eyes could be xanthelasma, which are yellowish cholesterol deposits. In addition to your current cholesterol medication, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a statin medication like atorvastatin to further lower your cholesterol levels and help reduce the deposits. The dosage would depend on your specific condition, so please consult your doctor for the appropriate prescription.

View allI'm dealing with tinea cruris and I've been using Fixtral and Lulifin. After a few days, I've noticed my skin turning white and starting to peel off. Is this a normal reaction? Should I be concerned?
Moisturize: Use a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep the affected skin hydrated and reduce the peeling. Observe the Area: If the peeling is mild and the area seems to be improving, it may just be part of the healing process. However, if you notice increased redness, blisters, or severe irritation, you may need to stop the treatment and see a healthcare professional. Follow-up: Its a good idea to check back with your doctor if the peeling is persistent or bothersome, or if the condition doesnt seem to be improving after a week or two.
