Xanthelasma

Xanthelasma (xanthelasmapalpebrarum) is a skin condition that appears as flat yellow growths on the eyelids.

Approximately one half of patients with xanthelasma have high amounts of fats (lipids) in their blood, such as high cholesterol or high triglycerides.
Xanthelasma is usually not itchy or tender. Individuals with xanthelasma are usually most concerned with their cosmetic appearance. If you have a lipid abnormality, exercise and dietary modifications will likely be recommended. Many people also require an oral medication to lower their lipids. Treatment of underlying lipid abnormalities does not cure every xanthelasma.

The xanthelasma is cosmetically unappealing and if it does not respond to lipid-lowering therapies, treatments include:
Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy)
Chemical cauterisation with TCA Electrodesiccation
Laser ablation
Surgical excision
