Sebaceous gland cyst

There is a large amount of fat distributed under the dermis of the human body, and the main function of fat is to store heat energy. If you feel cysts of varying sizes on the surface of your skin, you should consider whether you have a sebaceous gland cyst. Sebaceous cysts are mostly benign tumors, so patients don’t need to worry too much. Let’s learn more about sebaceous gland cysts below.

Subcutaneous fat cysts usually appear as sebaceous cysts, which are commonly known as "pimples". Sebaceous cysts are formed when hair follicle secretions cannot be discharged. They are the same as acne on the face. There is yellow-white stuff inside. They are mostly distributed in the skin or subcutaneous tissue of the head, trunk or genitals. They are adhered to nearby tissues and can be pushed. Psoraleae are characterized by slow-growing, benign lesions. Sebaceous cysts protrude from the surface of the skin and generally have no subjective symptoms. If not treated properly, they may cause secondary infection, pain, suppuration, and in severe cases, cancer may occur. There is generally no medicine to treat cysts. Once discovered, the editor recommends that patients go to the hospital for surgical treatment immediately.

Lipoma is the hypertrophy of fat cells. Simply put, the objects inside the australia are all fat. Therefore, lipoma is a benign tumor. This type of tumor is prone to occur on the shoulders, back, buttocks and inner thighs, and it is also common on the head. There is a thin connective tissue capsule around the tumor, which contains normal fat cells divided into leaf-like groups by connective tissue bundles. Some lipomas contain a lot of connective tissue or blood vessels in addition to a large amount of adipose tissue, forming a complex lipoma. A particularly good way to distinguish them is to press the base of the lipoma tightly with your hand during examination, and you can see the lobed shape, that is, the skin may appear "orange peel" like. So, if this shape appears, it is a lipoma. Those without clinical symptoms generally do not require treatment. Larger lipomas can be removed through incision according to their location and surgical requirements, or by laser removal.

The above is what the editor introduced to you today about what subcutaneous cysts and lipomas are and what are the differences between them. I believe that after reading this article, you have gained some useful knowledge, which will be of some help in your daily life.
