Xanthelasma
Neither harmful nor painful to the skin, xanthelasma is an eyelid bump that can sometimes affect a person psychologically due to its unsightly appearance. They appear as yellow bumps on and around the upper and lower eyelids and the nose.
The soft cholesterol-filled bumps develop under a person's skin and generally appear in middle-aged and older adults. They tend to occur more frequently in women than men and could be a sign of someone with high cholesterol.2‘Xanthelasma and Xanthoma.’ Winchester Hospital, www.winchesterhospital.org/health-library/article?id=202823
