Brief Answer: They seem to me like cutaneous xanthomas. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX They seem to me like cutaneous xanthomas. They may also possibly be simple fat pads. In any case, this is not a cause of concern. I suggest you to get a fasting lipid profile to rule out any elevated cholesterol, which may sometimes accompany xanthomas. All the best.
