Xanthelasma

When small yellowish plaques appear around the eyes
Xantelasma

Descriptions of the conditions

Xanthelasma is a benign skin lesion which appears as small yellowish patches, usually located on the eyelids or around the eyes. It is a localized deposit of lipids in the skin, often soft to the touch and slightly elevated. Although not dangerous, xanthelasma can be unsightly and cause a tired or irregular appearance to the eye area. Professional care allows these deposits to be removed safely and to improve the appearance of the area.

The causes

Xanthelasma can be linked to several factors:
  • Local lipid accumulation in the skin.

  • High cholesterol or triglyceride levels (but not always).

  • Genetic predisposition.

  • Skin aging, making the skin thinner and more susceptible to deposits.

  • Metabolic diseases or family history.

How to prevent

It is not always possible to completely prevent this condition, but there are some habits that can reduce the risks:
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle (balanced diet, physical activity).

  • Monitor sound lipid profile during medical checkups.

  • Protect the skin around the eyes with gentle and moisturising treatments.

  • Avoid repeated rubbing or irritation around the eyelids.

  • Use a sun protection to preserve the quality of the skin.
