Xanthelasma palpebrae are common lesions on both medical and dermatology patients. They are significant from both medical and dermatologic perspectives. They serve as a sentinel for elevated cholesterol as well as a cosmetic dermatologic issue. Treatment of these lesions requires consideration of diagnosing and treating any underlying cholesterol problem as well as removal of existing lesions. We report a simple yet effective method for treatment of these lesions.
