Castor Oil
Another effective remedy to treat xanthelasma is castor oil. The ricinoleic acid in castor oil helps shrink the cholesterol deposits.
However, this oil works best on small deposits that are new.
Soak a cotton ball in cold-pressed, pure castor oil.
Apply it on the affected area, keeping your eyes closed.
Massage for a few minutes and, if possible, secure the cotton ball in place with a bandage or tape.
Leave it on overnight, and clean the area with warm water the next morning.
Repeat this remedy daily until you are satisfied with the result.
Fenugreek Seeds
Fenugreek seeds are also effective at flattening cholesterol deposits until they disappear completely, mainly due to the seeds’ cholesterol-lowering properties.
Soak 2 teaspoons of fenugreek seeds in a glass of water overnight. Drink this mixture first thing the next morning on an empty stomach. It will help reduce the level of bad cholesterol in your body. Repeat daily.
Also, apply the water in which the fenugreek seeds were soaked overnight on the affected area. Massage the area gently with your fingertips, so that the water penetrates deep into the skin. Repeat daily.
Onions
This staple kitchen ingredient is another effective treatment, which you should surely give a try.
First of all, onions contain compounds that inhibit bad cholesterol and fat buildup, one of the main reasons behind this problem.
Secondly, their acidic nature helps flatten the bumpy deposits on the skin.
Extract the juice from 1 onion, add a little salt to it and set it aside for a couple of hours. Before going to bed, apply it on the affected area, massage gently and leave it on overnight. The following morning, wash the area with warm water. Repeat daily.
Also, mix 2 tablespoons of onion juice in a glass of water and drink it daily.
Banana Peels
To dissolve the cholesterol deposits around your eyes in a safe and natural manner, banana peels are very effective.
The peel has strong antioxidant properties and the enzymes in it help dissolve the bumpy deposits naturally.
Cut out a small piece of a ripe banana peel.
Carefully place the inside part of the peel over the cholesterol deposit.
Use a bandage or tape to secure the peel and leave it on overnight.
The next morning, remove the peel and wash the area with water.
Repeat every night until the bump is no longer visible.
