Yellow spots and lumps in the eyes: These are 5 hidden symptoms of increased cholesterol, do not ignore!

News India Live, Digital Desk: Yellow spots and lumps in the eyes: Due to today’s run-of-the-mill life and wrong eating, many people are facing the problem of increasing cholesterol. It is often called ‘silent killer’, because its symptoms are not easily visible. But do you know that your body gives you a sign of internal problems without speaking many times? One such indication is enlargement of cholesterol, whose symptoms can also be seen on your skin.

Cholesterol is a fat -like substance found in our blood. Excessive ‘bad cholesterol’ (LDL) accumulates in the veins and dilutes them, which increases the risk of heart attacks such as heart attack or stroke. So let’s know, what are the symptoms that appear on the skin that warns you about increased cholesterol:

1. Yellow spots around the eyes – xanthelasma:

   • Be careful if you see a light yellow or orange -colored spots on the interiors or outer corners of your eyes, on the eyelids. These are actually cholesterol deposits and are often the first and most obvious indication of enlarged cholesterol.

2. Lumps on hands, feet, joints (zantomas – xanthomas):

   • These can be fatty lumps or small rash, which appear on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, the knees, elbows, fingers or on the tendon (above the heel). These lumps are often yellow, orange or reddish-brown and can feel strict when touched.

3. White/gray ring around the cornea of ​​the eye (Arcus Senilis):

   
   

   • If a white or gray -colored circle (arch) starts appearing around your eye pupil (cornea), it can also be a sign of increasing cholesterol. It often occurs in old age, but if it appears at an early age it is a serious warning of increased cholesterol.

4. Skin dryness and itching:

   • When cholesterol starts accumulating in the veins, blood circulation is not done properly to the body parts. This does not reach the skin enough oxygen and nutrients, which can make the skin dry, lifeless and itchy. Especially on the skin of the feet, its effect can be more visible.

5. Changing skin color (yellow or blue):

   • Blood circulation due to cholesterol can also change skin color. The skin of the feet or fingers may turn yellow or light blue, especially when you hang them down. This is caused by oxygen deficiency and can be a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which is associated with enlarged cholesterol.

When to see the doctor?
If you see any of these symptoms on your skin, do not ignore it. Immediately consult a doctor and get your cholesterol check. Identification and treatment at the right time can avoid heart -related serious diseases.
