What causes Xanthelasma Palpebrarum?

You may have xanthelasma palpebrarum if you have bumpy yellow patches on the inner corners of your eyelids or around your eyes (XP). A soft, yellowish, fatty deposit known as xanthelasma develops beneath your skin. Although it's not hazardous, there are some instances where it might be a sign of potential heart disease.

These are some potential xanthelasma causes: 

• You inherit high cholesterol from your parents. 
• A type of diabetes. 
• Gaining weight.
• Thyroid conditions, such as hypothyroidism. 
• Inflammation. 
• Overindulging in booze.
   

How can Xanthelasma Palpebararum be treated?

Most likely, the patches won't disappear on their own. They'll either maintain their current size or expand with time. You can have them taken out if you're self-conscious about how they appear. In one of the following ways, a dermatologist can accomplish that: 

• Put medicine on the growth to remove it. 
• Use extreme cold to completely freeze it off (this is known as cryosurgery). 
• Take it out with a laser 
• Remove it with surgery. 
• Use an electric needle to treat it (you might hear this called electrodesiccation) 

Xanthelasma could be a warning sign that your blood cholesterol levels are beginning to rise. It is wise to consult a doctor on time.
