It’s not harmful, but in rare cases, it may be an indicator of possible heart disease. That’s why it’s a good idea to get Xanthelasma Removal Treatment and to have it checked by your doctor or a dermatologist.
Half of the people with xanthelasmas have high cholesterol levels. Healthcare providers usually see these levels in people with the kind of high cholesterol you get from your parents or some liver diseases.
However, the other 50% of people with xanthelasmas don’t have high cholesterol.
