Xanthelasma is caused by high cholesterol or lipid imbalance. The best way to reduce it is by bringing cholesterol under control through diet, exercise, and medicine (if advised). For existing patches, treatment options include laser, chemical peels, or minor surgery. Keep thyroid levels normal as it affects cholesterol. Consider doing the following tests: lipid profile, LFT, TSH

My recent test results show: triglycerides 350, uric acid 9.6, SGPT 93, and SGOT 65. Can these conditions contribute to erectile dysfunction? For context, I consume alcohol about 5 times a week and smoke 2 to 3 cigarettes per day.
