Xanthelasma is characterized by yellowish, soft, flat or slightly elevated plaques appearing on the eyelids, most commonly near the inner corners. They are caused by localized deposits of lipid-laden macrophages (cholesterol and fat) in the dermis, often associated with hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, liver dysfunction, or metabolic syndrome. Though generally benign and asymptomatic, xanthelasma may indicate systemic lipid imbalance and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Factors like age, genetics, unhealthy diet, obesity, and endocrine disorders can predispose individuals to its development.

Homeopathy treats xanthelasma by addressing the underlying constitutional and metabolic imbalances that allow lipid deposition in the skin. Medicines are selected based on the patient’s lipid profile, liver function, metabolic tendencies, skin type, emotional constitution, and coexisting conditions such as diabetes, obesity, or hypothyroidism. The goal is gradual resolution of plaques, improvement in lipid metabolism, liver function support, and prevention of recurrence, rather than only superficial removal. Constitutional treatment strengthens systemic detoxification and metabolic equilibrium.

Xanthelasma is not merely a cosmetic concern but often indicates systemic lipid and metabolic imbalance. Homeopathy addresses the underlying constitutional weakness, liver and digestive sluggishness, metabolic inefficiency, and constitutional susceptibility. Correct remedy selection gradually reduces plaque prominence, prevents recurrence, and strengthens overall metabolic and circulatory function. Combined with lifestyle management — balanced diet, lipid control, hydration, and exercise — treatment promotes both systemic wellness and improved skin appearance.
