How Is Xanthoma Treated?
Treating the medical condition that is causing the xanthoma is
necessary to get rid of the deposits of fat under the skin and minimize
the likelihood that they will return. Diabetes and metabolic disorders
that are well controlled are less likely to cause xanthoma.
Other treatments for xanthoma include surgical removal, laser surgery, or chemical treatment with trichloroacetic acid. Xanthomas can return after treatment, so these are not necessarily curative. Talk to your doctor to see which treatment is right for you and whether the condition can be treated through medical management of the underlying issue.

Is Xanthoma Preventable?
This condition may not be completely preventable, but there are
steps you can take to decrease your chances of developing xanthoma. If
you have a metabolic disorder, follow your doctor’s instructions about
how to treat and manage it. See your healthcare provider for regular
checkups.
