Hello! Xanthelasma is fat deposition in skin. This usually happens if fat levels are increased in our body. If you want to prevent it from happening then diet modification, exercise is helpful. If your blood lipid levels are high then medications required to bring it down.
Treatment options for xanthelasma are ablation with laser,TCA application,electrification etc. Usually multiple sessions required.

There are several underlying disorders in which xanthomas are caused by a disturbance in lipid (fat) metabolism. Because lipids are insoluble in water they combine with proteins to form compounds called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins transport lipids and cholesterol in the blood to different parts of the body. Depending on their size and weight, the common lipoproteins are classified as chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density-lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density-lipoproteins (HDL). They all have a role to play in maintaining metabolic functioning of the body.
