What Is The Red, Ringed, Creamy Spot On My Eyelid?

I had a red ringed, cream centered spot come up about a year ago, which has left me with the cream part of the spot on my eye lid. (the red ring of the spot is flat while the cream middle is raised). I then had another one come up, maybe a few months later, which had done the same, leaving me with a cream raised spot, and again on my eyelid. I have had two more appear recently on my neck and its concerning me now, as to why im getting these spots, and the red ring takes a while to disappear, but leaving me with raised cream spots,that dont go away. these parts of the spots, are not like spots though. I'm 40 years old, is it to do with age? could you help me please.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having creamy raised spots on eyelids.
These can be because of deposition of cholesterol called as xanthelesma. The treatment of this condition is by excision.
All cases require evaluation to rule out hypercholestetolemia. About 50% of them will have altered lipid profile.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
