Sharing my experience with Xanthelasma and Skin Cancer

I am a 47 year old male that has had mild xanthelasma.

I have had xanthelasma under both eyes for about 5 years.

In 2008,  I went to a dermatologist for a check up on some suspicious spots on my shoulders, nose, and ears.  Additionally, I had the doctor looks at the xanthelasma.

It turns out that I had two carcinomas on my shoulders and one on my nose.  All were removed with no additional problems.  The xanthelasmas under my eyes were considered cosmetic and I opted not to pursue any treatment at the time.

After being diagnosed with the carcinomas, I became concerned about additional ones surfacing and began to read many blogs regarding diet and holistic treatment programs.  I came across several interesting blog postings and some with very far-out claims for cures and prevention.

I found a diet program and treatment regimen that has helped me considerably.
