Brief Answer:
Xanthelasma palpebram, get lipid profile & chemical cauterisation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Health Care Magic.

I have reviewed the attached photograph and you have developed Xanthelasma palpebram.
It is formed due to deposition of fat on the eyelids. It is associated with increased lipid levels in the blood in about 60 percent of the individuals.

I would recommend you to get your lipid profile done and if if deranged then start its treatment.
For the lesion on the eye you need to consult a dermatologist and get it treatment by chemical cauterization.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
