Xanthelasma Palpebrarum explained.

Few people have ever heard of Xanthelasma Palpebrarum.

If you have, it’s probably because you or someone you love has it now or has had it before.  Considering you’re currently doing research about it now, it’s likely that the diagnosis has come recently.

You might want to know what causes Xanthelasma and learn about the most effective Xanthelasma treatment options.  We will certainly cover those here.

But first, we’ll explain what it means to have Xanthelasma…

What Is Xanthelasma Palpebrarum Exactly?

Let’s start with how it feels.

Symptomatically, it is more a cosmetic issue than a medical problem.

Xanthelasma are basically yellow fat deposits that develop on the surface of the skin around the eyes.  The affected area may grow without treatment but they are not cancerous and are rarely painful.

While Xanthelasma poses little physical danger, the psychological effects can be devastating.  The plaques are unsightly, especially if allowed to progress unchecked.  This leads to various self-image issues among those with the condition.

Though there are more reported cases by women than men, Xanthelasma seems to ignore demographics.  While there may be a few exceptions (Mediterranean and Asian ancestry is often associated with the condition), it seems that almost everyone is equally susceptible over the course of their lifetime.

It usually develops in one’s 40s or 50s but can begin to manifest as early as 15.  Once it appears, Xanthelasma has a tendency to come back if not treated properly.  It can linger in less obvious stages before suddenly progressing again years—or even decades—after the initial outbreak.

Though not extremely common (occurrence estimated between 0.3% and 1.5%), incidence seems to be on the rise.  Combine that with its persistent nature and it’s likely that a lot more people are going to learn what Xanthelasma is over the coming decades.

We won’t bore you with all of the scientific details here.  Still…

Let’s Get Technical for a Moment

Xanthelasma appear on and around the eyelids as “foamy” yellow lesions that form plaques.

They can range in size from 2 to 30mm.  They may be soft, semisolid, or calcareous.  They can affect one or all eyelids, but they tend to develop symmetrically.  Flip through the slideshow below for a few examples.

Like other Xanthoma, it is classified as a cutaneous necrobiotic disorder.  Deposits of triglyceride and cholesterol-rich cells build up in the dermis.  They are partially a result of the body’s inability to break down these lipids in the blood efficiently enough.

From here, you might be able to take a guess at where your Xanthelasma comes from.

What Causes Xanthelasma Palpebrarum?

We know that medical conditions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, liver problems, and—most commonly—lipid disorders all contribute to the growth of Xanthelasma.  Genetics also plays a major role.

This would seem to indicate that the modern diet and lifestyle is a major contributor to this, like so many other medical issues.

Still, Xanthelasma has been known to appear without any other apparent underlying factors.

This means the truth is:

We still have a lot to learn about the true causes of Xanthelasma and its prevention.  Ironically enough, we know a lot more about how to get rid of the condition once it has manifest.

How Should I Treat My Xanthelasma?

Most people who have this condition want to get rid of it for cosmetic reasons—and there is nothing wrong with that!

After all, once the lesions begin to appear, they usually increase over time.  Plaque size can grow.  The number of lesions can increase.  And more eyelids may be affected.  If left untreated, it can go from an inconspicuous blemish or two to a truly unsightly mess.

Luckily, there are several treatment options available.

A word of caution though:

If you’re self-diagnosing yourself with Xanthelasma, it’s wise to get a second opinion.  There are several other skin disorders that are often confused with Xanthelasma.  Plus, if it is the real thing, your physician can test you for some of the more serious medical conditions associated with Xanthelasma Palpebrarum as well.

Just be wary of recommendations for micro-dermabrasion or other surgical options.  Though your doctor may mean well, there are certainly better (and much less expensive) options out there.  Likewise, be sceptical of “natural Xanthelasma remedies” such as garlic and castor oil.

Choosing the wrong treatment can leave you with a major headache, an empty wallet, and visible scarring.

Fortunately, we now know enough about treating Xanthelasma that safe, effective, and relatively inexpensive options are available.
