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?

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.

My face seems a lot darker compared to my chest and stomach, and I'm usually on the fairer side. I've been walking around 4 km every day to college, sometimes in the sun, and I'm wondering if this is a tan. How can I get my usual skin tone back? Also, I have quite a few dark pimple marks on my face. Are there any home remedies I can try?

I've been using this rejuglow vitamin C serum for the last couple of months, and it really helped my skin glow. But out of nowhere, in the past 10 days, I'm noticing that my skin looks a bit brownish. I don't spend a lot of time in the sun, so I'm puzzled about what could be causing this change. Any ideas?
