Xanthomas
Assessment and treatment of cholesterol-related skin lesions.
Xanthomas are yellowish skin deposits caused by abnormal lipid levels in the blood and often appear around the eyes, elbows, knees, or tendons. While they are usually harmless, their presence can signal an underlying metabolic issue that needs medical attention. At Talwar Skin Clinics in Chandigarh and Ludhiana, xanthomas are evaluated carefully to confirm the diagnosis and identify contributing factors. Treatment is planned based on the type, size, and location of the lesion, with attention to both cosmetic outcome and long-term skin health. Under Dr. Sanchit Talwar’s care, management focuses on safe removal when indicated, along with guidance to reduce the risk of recurrence.
