Cholestrol levels: It will be helpful to see the report and your under eye lesions. Eating healthy is always a good idea. Under eye lesions could be freckles, warts or xanthomas. Sometimes xanthomas persist even after cholesterol lowers. In that case you could see a dermatologist for treatment.

Agree with Dr. K: Your cholesterol while elevated, is not high enough to cause xanthomas. As Dr. Kaur stated, it would be useful to examine the lesions for a proper evaluation. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine
