What are the fatty grains around the eyes? What is the yellow stuff on the eyelids?

  Fatty grains around the eyes look like small white bumps, about the size of a pinhead, that accumulate on the face and around the eyes, especially in women. In fact, fatty grains is a common name in cosmetology. Medically speaking, fatty grains should be classified as cornea and sweat duct tumors, etc. Chestnut papules are creamy white or yellow, pinhead to rice-sized firm papules with rounded tops, covered with very thin epidermis. They are mostly caused by small white cysts that are created when the skin repairs itself due to tiny wounds on the skin. The lesions are corn-sized, multiple, light brown papules that are slightly raised above the skin surface. Fatty grains may also be acne vulgaris or white particles that form in the skin because sebum is covered by keratin and does not drain properly to the epidermis. Do not be alarmed by the appearance of fatty grains, you must pay attention to the hygiene around the eyes, do a good job of cleaning, eat less greasy food, the use of laser and other methods can achieve very good treatment results.  What is the yellow patch on the eyelid? How can I treat it?  When a yellow patch appears on the eyelid, then you may have a lid xanthoma. The typical lesion is a flat yellow patch slightly above the skin, initially the size of a grain of rice, separated from the normal skin, with irregular borders and no conscious symptoms. It is usually found in the inner canthus of the upper eyelid and is often symmetrically distributed. It is a result of lipoprotein deposition in the eyelid area and often occurs when lipoprotein metabolism is impaired or elevated or when there are structural abnormalities. Patients are most often middle-aged women with hyperlipoproteinemia or hypercholesterolemia.  When a lid xanthoma develops, a hospital visit is required to check for hyperlipidemia. Those with concomitant hyperlipidemia should be given a low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-sugar diet, along with lipid-lowering medications. If the lesions are small, electrocautery, freezing, laser or surgical treatment may be done.
