Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I am suffering from xanthelasma. Could you please provide information about possible solutions for this condition?
Answered by Dr. Sharon Gopalan
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
I would recommend the following treatment options for xanthelasma:
1. Phenol application with a toothpick, performed once every 2 weeks.
2. TCA (Trichloroacetic acid) 50-70% application with a toothpick, done once every 2 weeks.
3. Electrodessication.
4. Fractional CO2 laser treatment.
These treatments typically require multiple sessions, with the potency and settings gradually increased based on the patients skin type and tolerability.
Thanks
