PROCEDURE

100% Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)

Patients in this group will receive 100% TCA application to xanthelasma lesions using the dipstick method. The surrounding skin will be protected with white soft paraffin to prevent chemical spillage. Post-treatment, Fusidic acid 2% will be applied twice daily for one week. Treatment efficacy will be assessed after six weeks.

PROCEDURE

Cryotherapy (Liquid Nitrogen)

Patients in this group will receive cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen. A single freeze-thaw cycle will be performed until a narrow halo of white ice forms around the lesion. Post-treatment care will include Fusidic acid 2% applied twice daily for one week. Treatment efficacy will be assessed after six weeks.
