i have the same

  1. i have two of these marks one on each eyelid. i try without luck to cover them with makeup, but they are a different colour and it wears off. my docyor done a cholesterol test, and although slightly high he said it probably would not be the cause. i will not go down the surgical route as he told me they will come back. it is so embarrising, i hate them has anyone found anything to get rid of them or at least a makeup that stays on

    any advise will be appreciated

  2. I have the exact same problem. They are so ugly. Once at work a co-worker told me oh your eyeshadow is all meesed up. It was the ugly yellow showing throuhg! I also had a cholesteral level that was a litle high 170 but not enough to be considered at risk or the cause. It may be your triglyceride level the actul lipid level in your blood or hormonal. Mine showed up when I turned 35. I have suffered for 2 years. I just started taking guggle. Its an herb. You purchase it at health food stores. It has helped alot they are shrinking!! You can also remove them non surgically by freezing them like you do a wart. Have docotor do it in office. Do not try yourself as your eyelid is delicate. I had the larger one on left removed like this and the smaller one on the right is going away with the guggle. My lipid level has reduced alot and the smaller ones on my left eye are disapearing. I hope this helps you. They are very ugly. I hate them too.
