A member asked:

Is there any topical or oral medication for xanthelams ( i don't want surgery or liser)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Xanthelasma?: You are quite young for these. These yellowish plaques tend to occur around the eye and are sometimes indicative of hypercholesterolemia. If your cholesterol is elevated you might benefit from treatment and maybe the xanthelasma will improve.
