Hello
It seems from the history that you are having prominent white patches on eyelids with high cholesterol. The condition is called as Xanthelesma.
The treatment is by laser therapy or by surgical excision.
However to prevent recurrence you need to reduce the cholesterol levels by appropriate drugs.
Thank you
