I want to get rid of xanthelasma around my eyes but I'm worried about surgery or laser treatments. Are there any other options that work without going under the knife or using lasers?

Yes, there are non-surgical and non-laser options for treating xanthelasma. Cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen), radiofrequency ablation, and electrodesiccation are all effective methods for removing or diminishing the appearance of xanthelasma without surgery. Additionally, lifestyle modifications and medical treatments for underlying health conditions can help manage the condition and prevent recurrence

I've got really sensitive skin, and every acne treatment I've tried just ends up making things worse. It's been pretty frustrating. Do you have any recommendations for a cream that's gentle but effective for getting rid of dark acne marks?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
