Charlie asks the following question: I have small white spots around my eyes on the surrounding skin and wondered what they were! They are not normal spots but appear every now and then and some are permanent - also the whites of my eyes appear yellow in colour and always they feel tired and sore! Any suggestion?
Dr Hilary says
These spots could just be due to blocked sebaceous glands as they come and go, but the permanent ones may also deposits of cholesterol that accumulate if your blood cholesterol levels are high. Yellowness of the whites of the eyes could represent a liver problem or simply be the result of irritation. A cholesterol and a urine test after a quick visit to your doctor would seem in order.
