Hello
It seems from the history that you are having cholesterol pockets under eye and these are called as xanthelesma.
The treatment is by surgical excision. About 50% of them are associated with hypercholestetolemia. Hence you require evaluation to rule out this.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for surgical excision.

Thank you
