Xanth\u00e9lasma<\/strong> is a common condition that causes aesthetic discomfort and does not decrease with age. It is a xanthome plan palp\u00e9bral<\/strong> (an infiltrate of histiocytic or macrophage cells filled with lipids \u2013 esterified cholesterol) that forms a yellowish plaque which gradually extends and darkens over the years on the upper or lower eyelid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best treatment is surgical, performed by an ophthalmologist, or if the lesions are small, they can be removed with a laser by a dermatologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recurrences are common, around 50%, which necessitates further treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The major issue is the risk of ectropion due to skin retraction after multiple treatments.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
