Hi Beverly-
Xanthelasma is not a common condition and so you would not get any
direct hit mostly in any reference. As with treating any pathology -
you are better off prescribing on the overall symptomatic picture.
Since it is associated with lipidemia - any medicine that works for
lipidemias should be considered.Cholesterinum, Graph, Hepar, Calc,
Causticum, Thuja come to mind. Nit acid, Nux vom etc. also which
have problems with lipid metabolism. Calc.fl, Kali.mur etc. also
might be indicated.
You might want to refer to tumors of eyelids and might something
there. Tarsal tumors, sebaceous cysts of eyes, scabs etc. Boericke
has a good list of remedies. You might want to consider how the
lesion feels - is it fibrous? soft? how did it start etc.
Still I hope that you would consider the complete picture as
Xanthelasma is a small part of a big picture. Any recommendation
given for a pathology or is found in the repertory under a
pathological condition is only a vague pointer. We cannot go by that
alone. So even if you do not get any other input from here take the
case the standard way and work from there. That is the way even
gall stones, renal stones etc. get removed even if the simillimum in
those cases has never cured a case like that before.
I have never treated Xanthelasma before.
Good luck
