What are the Treatment Options for Xanthomas in Children?
Treatment primarily focuses on addressing the underlying condition. Options may include:
- Dietary Changes: Implementing a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet can help manage lipid levels. - Medications: Statins, fibrates, or other lipid-lowering agents may be prescribed. - Lifestyle Modifications: Encouraging physical activity and weight management can be beneficial. - Surgery: In rare cases, surgical removal of the xanthomas may be considered if they cause significant discomfort or functional impairment.
