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.
