@sonianawazofficial: High cholesterol itself usually does not cause direct visible symptoms on the skin. However, when cholesterol levels remain extremely high or if it is an inherited condition (such as Familial Hypercholesterolemia), excess lipids can deposit under the skin or in the eyes, creating noticeable physical marks. Visible Marks & Signs of High Cholesterol Xanthelasma: Flat or slightly raised yellowish patches or bumps that appear on or around the eyelids. These are soft cholesterol deposits and are one of the most common facial signs. Xanthomas: Firm, yellowish or skin-colored bumps caused by cholesterol buildup under the skin. They can appear in different forms: Tendon Xanthomas: Swellings or nodules found on tendons, most commonly on the Achilles tendon (back of the ankle) or hands/knuckles. Eruptive Xanthomas: Sudden outbreaks of small, red-to-yellowish bumps, often appearing on the buttocks, shoulders, elbows, or knees. Planar Xanthomas: Flat yellowish spots or patches, frequently found in the creases of the hands and palms. Arcus Senilis (Corneal Arcus): A white, grey, or blue ring or arc that forms around the outer edge of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye). While common in older adults, seeing this ring before age 45 is often a strong sign of high cholesterol. Pinch Marks or Lower Limb Changes: Extremely high cholesterol can lead to peripheral artery disease (PAD), which may cause skin on the legs or feet to look shiny, pale, or bluish, alongside slow-healing sores. Important NoteMost people with high cholesterol have no physical symptoms or skin marks at all. The only reliable way to check your cholesterol levels is through a simple blood test called a Lipid Profile. If you notice yellowish bumps around your eyes, joints, or skin, schedule a blood test and consult a doctor to evaluate your heart health.
