What is the treatment of xantholesma under the eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Xanthelasma are deposits of mostly cholesterol under the skin in oval patches on the lids mostly towards the nose. They are without symptoms and cause no problems. Sometime they are a clue to elevated cholesterol in the bloodstream. They can be surgically removed in a minor procedure if they are a cosmetic problem.
