Xanthelasma is primarily caused by cholesterol issues, including elevated LDL (bad cholesterol) or low HDL (good cholesterol). Other factors are familial hypercholesterolaemia (a genetic condition of high cholesterol) and liver disease, specifically primary biliary cirrhosis. Although Xanthelasma can occur without high cholesterol, its presence may indicate potential high cholesterol, warranting immediate investigation.
