Xanthelasma

Overview

Xanthelasma is a skin condition that mostly appears on the corners of the eyelids.

Commonly seen in middle aged women, xanthelasma can be a cosmetic nuisance because of its location around the eyes and light yellow color.

All You Need To Know About Xanthelasma

Increased Cholesterol Levels

Increased Cholesterol Levels

This is a primary cause of Xanthelasma. Essentially, the presence of low-density lipoprotein(LDL), generally known as bad cholesterol, causes this condition. This cholesterol gets accumulated under the skin near the eyes. Since the skin around the eyes is thin, it becomes easily visible. This type of cholesterol can also get deposited inside the blood vessels causing heart disease and thus raised cholesterol levels always need to be looked at.
Low HDL Level

Low HDL Level

Most people develop Xanthelasma around eyes due to raised LDL, but you may also get this condition if you have a low HDL level. People with a low HDL level are more prone to develop lipid related disorders like xanthelasma.

Unknown Other Causes

Unknown Other Causes

Most xanthelasma patients will have no apparent reason to get xanthelasma. This is called idiopathic. Their lipid levels are normal and they do not have any lipid dysfunction, but yet they can develop these yellow patches. It is then thought to be abnormal removal of fat from skin which causes them. Other than lipid disorders, xanthelasma causes can be associated with other medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid dysfunction and liver problems which also needs to be checked.

Yellow Patches Near Eyelids

Yellow Patches Near Eyelids

This is one of the most noticeable Symptoms of Xanthelasma, where yellow or orange-coloured bumps appear on the upper and lower eyelids. You can notice these yellowish patches near the inner corner of both eyelids. Xanthelasma often occurs in a symmetrical fashion on both eyelids.

Soft Or Firm Lumps

Soft Or Firm Lumps

Another sign of developing Xanthelasma symptoms is the smooth, semi-soft or solid feel of these yellow patches. You will feel a soft velvet texture on the patches or plaque when touched. Their sizes generally vary between 2 to 30 mm. Typically, these patches have a flat surface and definite borders.

Surface Enlargement

Surface Enlargement

Xanthelasma usually has a flat surface but if you leave it untreated, it can grow from its surface and spread over the eye area. These patches generally do not go away on their own and require removal.

TCA application

Chemical Cauterisation

This is an effective solution for Xanthelasma treatment where dermatologists use certain concentrated chemicals like TCA (trichloroacetic acid) or Phenol or even liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) to selectively burn the affected skin and fat deposits. Generally multiple sessions are required for full xanthelasma removal Studies have shown that TCA application is a more effective solution than any other invasive treatments. It can also stimulate new cell growth underneath the affected skin.

Radio Frequency

Radio Frequency

This electrosurgery is another commonly used method of xanthelasma removal. People of any age can undergo this treatment, as it is a very safe, quick, and economical solution. Radiofrequency uses electric currents to burn off the treatment area layer by layer. It can remove the entire area of xanthelasma in one session.

Surgical Removal

Surgical Removal

Dermatologists use surgical excision of xanthelasma when it has spread and involves a large area on the upper or lower eyelids. Xanthelasma surgical removal is an effective and quick solution as the entire xanthelasma can be removed in one setting and the scar can be beautifully blended in the loose skin of the eyelid making it almost invisible. This surgery is done under local anesthesia and is completed within an hour or two. It is important though to opt for this surgical removal under qualified surgeon’s skilled hands.

Co2 Laser Treatment

Co2 Laser Treatment

Xanthelasma CO2 laser treatment, uses the ablative nature of the CO2 laser to burn off the affected skin. This laser treatment for Xanthelasma is frequently chosen over other treatments because of its precision and minimum scarring of surrounding tissues.

Is there any medicine for Xanthelasma?

Medication is applicable only in the case of people with associated disorders. Medicines do not play any role in Xanthelasma removal or cure.

Which treatment is best for Xanthelasma?

Dermatologists determine the best treatment for Xanthelasma removal only after a thorough diagnosis of the case, necessary tests, reviewing reports, and the suitability of a particular treatment in the patient’s case. Nevertheless, some treatment options include laser surgery with fractional CO2, surgical removal, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) application, Radiofrequency, laser ablation, and surgical excision.

How long does it take to remove Xanthelasma?

The time for Xanthelasma removal depends on the treatment option. Radiofrequency ablation (RA) provides relatively quick results, and TCA application also demands numerous sessions to get rid of Xanthelasma.

Does Xanthelasma come back after removal?

Certain underlying reasons can also cause Xanthelasma to return in the same area or another one after the treatment

What causes xanthelasma?

Xanthelasma is primarily caused by high levels of cholesterol or other lipids in the blood. Factors such as genetics, age, diabetes, and certain lifestyle choices can contribute to its development.

How is Xanthelasma diagnosed?
Xanthelasma is usually diagnosed through a physical examination by a healthcare professional. Blood tests may be conducted to check lipid levels and rule out other conditions.
