Sebaceous gland cyst is a subcutaneous benign tumor. The cause of the appearance of the cyst is the occlusion of the duct of the sebaceous gland, as a result of which the secret secret is accumulated in the epidermis layer, instead of going out. Atheromas are most often formed in people with a fatty skin type, both in women and men alike.
This education does not pose a health threat, except when inflammation or active growth begins, but can lead to dissatisfaction with one's appearance, especially if the sebaceous gland cyst appeared on the face.
Treatment of sebaceous gland cyst
Specialists-dermatologists and cosmetologists are unanimous: removal of the sebaceous cyst is the only way of treatment. The fact is that due to its structure the cyst can not dissolve, and if a breakthrough occurs, then in the case of its infiltration into the subcutaneous tissue, an abscess may develop and, as a complication, sepsis .
Modern methods of atheroma removal are safe, effective and not associated with postoperative complications. The choice of method depends on the size, condition and location of the cyst. The following delete options are possible:
- Surgically, using a scalpel, as a rule, large atheromas are removed. Operational intervention is
under local anesthesia, and if necessary, cosmetic sutures are applied. - Laser removal is usually used with a small cyst and no signs of inflammation. After the manipulation on the skin there is no scarring, so this method is great for eliminating atheroma on the face.
- Influence by means of radio waves, figuratively speaking "evaporation" of an atheroma. Radio wave technology is increasingly recommended to its patients by specialists, since the method allows to impact on a certain area, and after removal there is no need to impose seams or polish scars.
In order to prevent the formation of sebaceous gland cysts, it is necessary to strictly follow the rules of hygiene and reduce the consumption of fatty foods.
