Hard lump under the skin of forehead

The subcutaneous lump on the forehead is a type of folliculitis. The lump left by folliculitis will lead to the proliferation of fibrous tissue. If not treated in time, it will cause the skin to become hard. It can be treated by using anti-inflammatory drugs, but if the lump is large and has not recovered for a long time, it is necessary to check and analyze the condition in time, because many other factors are involved.

Subcutaneous lumps left by folliculitis

Subcutaneous lumps are probably caused by scar tissue and fibrous tissue hyperplasia. Because the inflammation of the hair follicles is quite severe, the inflammation of the epidermis affects the dermis underneath the epidermis, the fibers underneath the dermis proliferate abnormally, and the epidermis is damaged, resulting in scar formation. Deal with it according to the specific situation. If the rash has just appeared and the skin is red and swollen, you can use red light and anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Centella asiatica ointment or silicone gel.

In addition, mucopolysaccharide polysulfate and flufenamic acid butyl ester can also be used. If the local skin lesions exist for a long time, in addition to medication and red light, surgical excision followed by local radiotherapy, or injection of triamcinolone acetonide into the local skin lesions can be used for comprehensive treatment to achieve the best results.

Condition analysis: The most common surface tumors of the body are lipoma, fibroma, nevus, atheroma, wart, epidermoid cyst, hemangioma, etc. Most of them are benign and people do not pay much attention to them. Some are caused by trauma, some are caused by foreign bodies, and most of them are caused by unknown reasons.

Multiple round or oval nodular lipomas are commonly found subcutaneously on the limbs, waist, and abdomen. The size and number of the tumor are uncertain. It is slightly harder than ordinary lipomas and painful when pressed, so it is called painful lipoma or multiple lipomas.

2. Treatment: Pay more attention to it in daily life. Surface tumors should be discovered as early as possible. Many people will discover them accidentally, and the tumors are often of a certain size when they are discovered. How to detect them as early as possible? It is recommended that you consciously touch your whole body when taking a shower every once in a while to see if there are any bumps or areas that you cannot see. Ask your spouse or family to help check. If there are raised bumps or changes in the original tumors, go to the hospital for examination.

3. Treatment: Surgical treatment is recommended, and a biopsy of the tumor should be performed after the operation to confirm the diagnosis.

Except for a few epidermal tumors that can be frozen or laser burned, the vast majority of surface tumors are treated with outpatient surgery, which is the simplest and most direct surgery. The purposes of the surgery are: 1. To remove the lesion and the tumor; 2. To confirm the diagnosis 100% with the help of pathological sections; 3. After the biopsy results come out, further clarify what to do next.
