Question

Could you tell me whether I should consult a dermatologist or an eye specialist for treating Xanthelasma? I'm also looking for recommendations on the best doctor in Kolkata for this condition. Any advice would be appreciated!

Xanthelasma is a skin condition that appears on the eyelids and is usually treated by a dermatologist. In some cases, an ophthalmologist may also be involved, especially if the xanthelasma is affecting the eye itself.
