Xanthelasmata

2017-12-24 11:46:17
Hi I believe I have Xanthelasmata around my eyes, this is got really bad now and has spread all around my eyes, I feel so unattractive and even makeup does not conceal them. Is it possible I can have them removed. And could it be related to a serious health problem.
