Xanthelasma Causes?

The best way to prevent any disease is to understand the causes behind it.

Xanthelasma Palpebrarum is no different.  They are not particularly dangerous.  But these small, yellowish lesions that form on and around the eyelids are unsightly and can do serious psychological damage.

Whether you already have Xanthelasma or feel that you are at an increased risk, understanding what causes these plaques can go a long way to helping fight them.

Ongoing Research

We have a lot more to learn about Xanthelasma Palpebrarum.

Like many non-life-threatening diseases, Xanthelasma takes a backseat in the subsidized research game.  There is little urgency across the world to solve painless skin conditions.

While this is not surprising, it does seemingly leave a lot of people hanging.

Still, there have been reputable studies that have helped us to uncover various risk factors, if not a single cause.  Xanthelasma samples are also fairly easy to come by.  This leaves few mysteries regarding their makeup.

What We Do Know

Xanthelasma are lesions that form into plaques.  These plaques are made up primarily of triglycerides and cholesterol.

Many people today have an excess of these lipids (fats) in their blood.  The primary reason for this is the way we eat.  Triglycerides are the most common type of fat found in the body.  Excess calories are stored in the blood as triglycerides.

Lipid disorders are the number one contributor to the growth of Xanthelasma and Xanthoma Plaques in general.  Xanthelasma has also been tied to high LDL cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia).  Proper diet and exercise are generally the best way to fight both of these things.

However, those with Xanthelasma should note two important things:

First, your Xanthelasma may be an indicator of more serious health issues.  In addition to lipid disorders, Xanthelasma is a risk factor for diabetes, hypothyroidism, liver problems, and more.  That is why we always recommend that those with Xanthelasma visit their doctor.

Second, getting your blood lipids in check will not remove your Xanthelasma.  Xanthelasma treatment requires removal of the plagues themselves.

In addition, not all Xanthelasma and Xanthoma sufferers have a lipid disorder.  Sometimes, it simply comes down to genetics.  If it’s in your family history, topical treatment may be the only real way for you to fight Xanthelasma off.

In short, what causes your Xanthelasma might not be what is causes my Xanthelasma.

As time goes on, we will learn more about what this condition and how to prevent it.  For now though, let’s focus where we can.

Fighting Xanthelasma

Once Xanthelasma plaques have formed around your eyelids, it’s time to take action.  If you wait, they are likely to grow, spread, and become more numerous.

Today, Xanthelasma and Xanthoma sufferers have several decent options to remove these lesions.

Several years ago, dermabrasion and other aggressive treatments were considered the best choices sufferers had.  Nowadays, some sites on the Internet make is seem like you can simply wipe garlic or castor oil on your Xanthelasma and expect them to disappear.

The current reality is somewhere in between.

Surgical options have certainly improved and can provide a lasting solution in many cases.  While less damaging than more outdated treatments, you’re still likely to be left with scars and an empty wallet.

You should also be wary of all-natural treatments touted on across the Web as these are usually just wishful thinking or misdiagnoses.  The danger is that they usually involve putting potentially harmful substances close to your eye.

But worry not.

Today there are Xanthelasma removal treatments that are safe, pain-free, scar-free, and effective.  Beyond that, treating your Xanthelasma can be fast, convenient, and still affordable.
