Confocal micro‐Raman spectroscopy was used to distinguish human xanthelasma skin (HXS) from the human normal skin (HNS). Results showed that intensive Raman peaks at 1,269, 1,336, 1,448, and 1,656 cm−1increased obviously. Both 1,269 and 1,656 cm−1peaks showed that the proteins in HXS were mostly in the anti‐parallel ß sheet conformation. While the intensities of bands at 1,032, 1,087, 1,300, and 1,448 cm−1belonged to lipids were enhanced in HXS spectrum compared to those in HNS spectrum. There were main intercellular lipids alkyl chains with minor proteins contribution at 1,087 cm−1and phenylalanine at 1,032 cm−1. To quantitative analysis of the difference, the ratio ofwas calculated, which was 1:1.04 ± 0.04 and 1:1.11 ± 0.02 for HNS and HXS (p < 0.01), respectively. The data indicated that some tyrosine residues, which form a hydrogen bond with H2O prior to aggregation, were captured by strong hydrogen‐bond acceptors in the aggregate. The decreased ratio ofindicated more hydrophobic in HXS than HNS. Principal component analysis showed a one‐to‐one relationship between human xanthelasma skin and the corresponding Raman spectra. It could be given useful help for the diagnostication of xanthelasma. SCANNING 37:307–312, 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
