Hello! I Have A Lighted Magnifying Mirror And Unfortunately I

Posted on Thu, 30 Apr 2020

Question: Hello! I have a lighted magnifying mirror and unfortunately I tend to notice every little spot on my face when I use it! I’m attaching two images of the areas under my eyes and two images with the areas stretched out with my fingers. On those images I’ve circled areas in which tiny raised bumps appear when the skin is stretched. Can you please tell me what those are and whether they are worrisome? I remember reading once that certain bumps under the eyes may indicate high cholesterol....mine is just borderline high. Also, I do have several sebaceous hyperplasia on my face and my skin is oily. Thank you!!

Brief Answer:
Not looking like xanthelasma, keep it under observation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
I have also seen the uploaded photographs.
There are small slightly yellowish bumps under the eyes when the skin is stretched but they are not exactly looking like xanthelasma which are due to fat deposition.
These could be the very initial stages of xanthelasma or just the dyschromia with age related and sun related damage.
Nothing to worry about at this time.
Just keep it under observation.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
