After a doctor's examination, it was diagnosed that this "acne" was a Sebaceous Cyst! This disease is a benign sebaceous cyst, which is one of the common skin problems. It usually grows on the face, scalp, chest or back where there are more sebaceous glands. It is common in young and middle-aged people aged 30 to 40, and the incidence rate of men is more than twice that of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Features of atheroma:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The main cause of atheroma is that the outlet duct of the sebum line is blocked, and the sebum secretion gradually accumulates and hides in the pouch formed by the proliferation of epithelial cells, and gradually develops into a cyst; White powdery or milky substance will flow out when it occurs, so it is called "atheroma". Because the symptoms are not obvious and the growth rate is slow, many patients often mistake atheromas for acne. However, unlike acne, atheromas are hidden in the dermis below the epidermis and will not disappear on their own. Surgery is required to completely remove the pouch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be noted that the size of atheromas ranges from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Although it does not cause pain at the beginning, it can gradually grow in size. If it becomes inflamed or infected, it is more likely to develop abscesses or skin necrosis. If abnormal pustules appear on the skin of the body, seek medical advice immediately for early treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the size of the atheroma is small and there is no infection or inflammation, you can usually observe the condition first, or consider receiving treatment according to your individual needs. The most thorough method is to remove the atheroma surgically. The procedure is simple and only requires local anesthesia, and can be performed in a day clinic. If the atheroma is red, swollen and inflamed, it is necessary to treat the infection with topical or oral antibiotics, and then perform surgery after the inflammation subsides; if the inflammation cannot be effectively controlled with antibiotics, the abscess must be treated first, the pus should be drained, and then removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key point of surgical treatment is to completely remove the pouch covering the atheroma, otherwise the sebum and keratin will only accumulate in the pouch repeatedly, resulting in recurrence. In addition to traditional surgical methods, lasers have also been used in medicine to treat atheromas in recent years. Carbon dioxide lasers are used to make incisions around the atheromas. Compared with using a scalpel, the wound bleeding is less and recovery is faster, but patients still need to pay attention to surgery. Post wound care to aid skin healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Atheroma is a benign tissue. The surface, boundary and overall structure of the pouch are relatively complete and smooth, and the surgical incision is relatively neat. If the wound is properly cared for, the scar after stitches is generally not obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although there is no definite way to prevent atheroma, but the first thing to do is to keep the skin clean. The doctor suggested that after using hair styling products, Jacky should use mild hair cleansing products to thoroughly clean the scalp, which can reduce the chance of sebaceous gland blockage and atheroma formation. If you develop atheroma, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible. Do not squeeze the atheroma by yourself, so as not to aggravate the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n General Practitioner Dr Yuen Ching Yee<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
