What is this bumps on my eyes? And how can I get rid of them

I Started to get a little tiny white dot around my upper lids of  my left eye, like two years ago. I noticed a grow in size slowly but surely. I visit the Doctor and he said that might be cholesterol deposit or calcium deposits and  that was most common on older people. With time another dot showed in my other eye ans since then they have grow to an ugly noticeable size. I feel so embarrassed and uncountable with them on my face. One time one person that I met at a job class, Told me she can get rid of them and we went to her house. She took a needle and disinfected  and slowly start to poke the edge of one of the spot and she was so surprised and disappointed because they was not liquid like like she was thinking. This thing is like a hard paste under the skin and I wont go away. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I was told plastic surgery will do but I don't have the money for that, not for at least lots of years if I try to save the money. When people look at me they don't get to see me anymore all they notice is them and I feel Now that I'm all alone. I'll be so difficult to find a mate this day people now days are so into looks. If there is a pill or a natural way to dissolve this from my skin please somebody do say something here. I really appreciated from the bottom of my heart.

Hello,
These spots are called xanthalesma. Xanthalesma / Xanthomas are deposits of fat/cholesterol in the eye lid. Possible causes are raised cholesterol, hyperlipidaemia states, diabetes mellitus and obesity.

They cause no harm, but can increase in size producing cosmetic blemish. The only treatment is removal by surgery with/without skin grafting (depending on the size of the lesion) or use of laser (CO2 Laser).

I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Warm regards.
