What is Xanthelasma?

Xanthelasma is a skin disorder where one or more yellowish deposits occur primarily on or surrounding the eyelids. Usually, these deposits are harmless, but they can be a cosmetic problem and often indicate an underlying problem with lipids. In Ayurveda, these deposits are tackled by addressing the imbalance in the body’s energies that caused them in the first place, thus ensuring long-term benefits and healthy skin.

What Causes Xanthelasma?

Although the cause is not completely clear, many people have been found at risk of developing Xanthelasma:

Lipid Concentration: High levels of cholesterol or triglycerides will put one at risk of developing these deposits.

Hormonal Concentration: Some hormones are linked with the processing of lipids and hence, the concentration would affect Xanthelasma.

Consuming high-cholesterol foods: Fast food or a diet filled with saturated fat is more likely to prone one to Xanthelasma.

Family history: If someone in a family had previously suffered from Xanthelasma, chances are higher that someone else would do.

Age: Age is also a factor in the development of Xanthelasma; it usually develops in people over the age of 30, when age-related changes in lipid metabolism begin to occur.
