Last night, before I saw this forum, I had an idea to use apple cider vinegar. I didn't know what it was and thought it might be calcium. Vinegar disolves calcium. I mixed 1/2 a cap of the vinegar with 1/2 a cap of water. Then I mixed in some corn starch, to thicken it. I put it on the spot under my eye. It stung and made my eyes water. I left it on for 15 minutes. The spot was a bit smaller and the bags under my eye were not as puffy. So, I think I will keep doing that until I can do the full garlic treatment.
Thank you all for telling us about your experiences. It is very nice to know that I can make this ugly thing go away.
I also had an idea. Maybe taking garlic oil caps can keep them from coming back, as it lowers cholesterol.
I will post again after I have tried that garlic.
Good luck to everyone! This is life changing.

It is now over 2 months since I removed the Xantha on my eyelid. The ugly yellow blob is gone and the skin is paler but not yellow. It looks so much better. Now I will have a go at the smaller one on the other eyelid. This time I will try and keep the garlic on for a longer period twice a day so that the layers are burnt off quicker. I hate having a swollen and then scabby eyelid for more than a week. Incidently, I have been diagnosed with a thyroid condition which may have been responsible for the Xantha. Now Im on Thyroxine , my cholesterol levels are normal and the other Xantha has not grown any bigger.Replied By Angela (London) on 01/04/2014
Hi all I.am so happy that I came across this site, I too hate my yellow lumps and from yesterday have applied the crushed garlic you get in a tube, looking forward to great results, feeling happy.Replied By Garlicfan (British Columbia) on 03/17/2014
Ok, I have been quietly fuming and being self conscious of these yellow marks for about 10 months now. Ten minutes ago I tried the garlic and they have shrunk to an 1/4 of the size. I can't wait to see the final results- it's hard to believe- I should have taken before and after photos- in fact I wouldn't believe it unless it happened to me. Oh - it burns like hell, but not for long, definitely worth it!!!
