Yellow patches on the skin around the eyes are not just nameless skin tags. These patches represent a very common condition that happens to millions of men and women called ?Xanthelasma?.Xanthelasma are yellow cholesterol-filled patches that form under the skin of your eyelids and near the corner of your eye. These plaques can be a manifestation of cholesterol and lipid problems or just a random occurrence. Lipids in your bloodstream are sometimes ingested by certain types of cells called ?foam cells? which then deposit under your skin causing the yellow streaks.
