Simvastatin cream for eyelid fatty deposits
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a cream with simvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) to see if it can shrink yellowish fatty bumps called xanthelasma that appear around the eyelids. If you have these bumps and haven't had recent treatments, this might be an option to try a non-surgical approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.

- You haven't had surgery, laser, freezing, or other procedures to remove these bumps in the last 3 months.
