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.

I'm worried because I applied chuna powder on my mole, and now it's healing. How long will it take to heal completely? Will there be any scars? Can you recommend any ointments I can get in India to speed up the healing process?

It is important to keep the area clean and protected while it heals. You can apply Silverex cream twice a day to help with the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring. Make sure to consult a doctor if you notice any signs of infection or if the mole does not heal properly.
