If you’ve got tiny white bumps on your face or eyelids – it could indicate a serious health problem...
A lot of people have cholesterol deposits somewhere on their body – they are tiny white or yellowish bumps in the skin. It’s fairly common to have them on your face – but if they’re on your eyelids you should really point them out to your doctor. In a recent study, about half the people with those deposits on their eyelids were at a much higher risk of heart attack, heart disease and stroke.
Having those deposits removed doesn’t solve the problem – and they’ll probably come back anyway - but consider them a valuable warning and ask your doctor to run the appropriate tests.
