Sebaceous adenoma symptoms and how to treat it?

Sebaceous adenoma is what our director calls sebaceous cyst. The main symptom of this disease is that it protrudes from the surface of the skin and the tumor is spherical. If it is complicated by infection, there will also be redness, swelling, heat, pain, and other inflammatory reactions. We usually treat this disease through surgical resection.

The tumor is spherical, single or multiple, medium hard, elastic, higher than the skin surface, adhered to the skin, not easy to move, smooth surface, without fluctuations, the center may be light blue, sometimes with openings on the skin surface, squeezing may reveal tofu dregs or noodle mud-like contents.

[Surgical resection]

Once diagnosed, the cyst should be completely removed surgically. Surgery is the only treatment for sebaceous cysts. During the operation, a fusiform skin incision can be designed along the skin grain direction on the skin connected to the cyst, especially when the duct opening is seen, and the cyst can be removed together with the cyst. Be particularly careful during separation as the cyst wall is very thin and should be removed as completely as possible. If the cyst wall remains, it is prone to recurrence. If there are symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, heat and pain before surgery, the inflammation should be controlled first and then surgery should be arranged.

Oral antibiotics (such as enhanced sulfamethoxazole tablets, midecamycin, etc.) and anti-inflammatory treatments such as hot compresses should be given, and surgical resection should be performed after the inflammation subsides. Large scars can be treated with cosmetic surgery.

【prevention】

To prevent the occurrence of sebaceous cysts, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Keep facial skin clean to keep the sebaceous glands open and facilitate the excretion of secretions.

2. When the facial skin is itchy, do not scratch it at will to avoid causing facial skin infection, damaging the opening of the sebaceous glands, causing retention of sebaceous gland secretions, and promoting the formation of sebaceous cysts.

3. Do not squeeze facial skin boils, etc.
