Atheroma on the face

Atheroma is a retentional benign neoplasm developing in the sebaceous gland. Accordingly, her favorite localization is those areas of the body that are rich in glandulae sebacea (alveolar glands), most often the so-called seborrheic zones, which include the facial part of the head - forehead, cheeks, superciliary zone, nasolabial triangle, wings of the nose, chin , ears (lobes and area behind ears).

[1],

Epidemiology

Atheroma on the face is formed due to accumulation of the sebaceous secretion in the duct of sebaceous and subsequent obturation (blockage). A benign cyst can be congenital and is defined as an abnormality of fetal development, such cysts are rarely diagnosed, more often in the frontal zone secondary, retention cysts are identified that develop in patients aged 16-17 to 55-60 years, regardless of gender and social status .

Causes of the atheroma on the face

Before you understand and justify the cause of atheroma on the face, you need to remember how the sebaceous glands work and work.

Glandulae sebacea on the principle of action differ from other glandular tissue, for example, from the sweat glands. They not only produce the production of a specific secret, but also during this process activate the destruction, separation of cells of the secretory fluid, that is, the mechanism of such secretion fully applies to the holocrine type. The period of production, destruction and replacement of the sebaceous secret lasts from 3 to 4 weeks, this provides a reliable protective action for the entire skin of the body, which protects more than 900,000 sebaceous glands. Glandulae sebacea (sebaceous glands) serve as a reliable protection of the skin, providing it with bactericidal treatment due to the composition of the secretory fluid, as well as controlling the thermal insulation and retaining moisture in the deep layers of the dermis.

The most densely glandulae sebacea are present in the head area, especially in its scalp, in the face area. The causes of atheroma on the face are caused by a violation of the production of dentrites in three types of sebaceous glands:

1. Large sebaceous glands - the scalp, the middle part of the face - the nose, cheeks chin. Areas where the glands are located in an amount from 450 to 900 per one square centimeter of skin.
2. Second-order middle glands are located in the zone of long gun hair (lanugo hair in infants and vellus hair - in adults) all over the face and body.
3. The small sebaceous glands are located in the follicles of long hair in the upper layers of the dermis.

In addition, the sebaceous glands are divided into two types:

• Glands with a duct outlet to the surface of the skin (loose).
• Glands, in which the excretory duct is opened directly into the hair bulb (follicle).

Accordingly, the cysts of free sebaceous glands may depend on gender. Thus, in women, the gland ducts are localized throughout the face area, in men only in those places where there is no growth of long hair or within the red border of the lips. Follicular cysts do not know sexual preferences and are formed with the same frequency in women and men.

[7]

Risk factors

Since the sebaceous cyst is formed as a result of the accumulation of dentrit (secretory fluid) and subsequent blockage of the duct, the causes of atheroma on the face may be due to regulatory factors controlling the work of glandulae sebacea:

1. Neurohumoral regulation due to the balance of hormones, mostly sexual. Hypersecretion of dentrites is most often associated with hormonal dysfunctions (puberty or extinction - the climax).
2. Congenital atheromas of the face to infants are caused by the influence of maternal hormones (pituitary hormones and progesterone).
3. The regulation of the sebaceous glands by the vegetative peripheral or central nervous system may be disrupted, resulting in the formation of benign neoplasms, including atheromas.
4. Violation of metabolism (metabolism).
5. Diseases associated with the anterior pituitary gland.
6. Diseases of the adrenal cortex.
7. Viral encephalitis, which leads to disruption of vegetative centers.
8. Diseases associated with a decrease in the activity of the immune system and the development of seborrheic dermatitis.
9. Diseases associated with impaired function of the digestive tract.

Dermatologists note that the hypersecretion of the sebaceous glands of the face is more often and earlier observed in girls in the puberty period, in the future the production of dentrites in women is reduced faster than in men, the female skin is faster "drying up" with all the signs of increasing dryness. The skin integuments of men in this sense are more protected by developed dentritis, which is associated with an increased level of testosterone, but this factor is also provoking the formation of sebaceous gland cysts.

In addition, the causes of atheroma on the face can be purely age-related, when the glands work becomes less intense. Dystrophy of the sebaceous glands can be associated with congenital pathology, a hereditary factor or with autoimmune diseases, for example, scleroderma. The reasons provoking factors of cystic neoplasms, as a rule, have significance in the sense of further preventive actions, which are recommended after the main therapeutic stage. Since atheroma is a benign neoplasm, its etiological pathways are important, but do not play a significant role in the choice of treatment, which is 99.9% operative, that is, the cyst is removed totally, regardless of symptoms and localization.

Symptoms of the atheroma on the face

The cyst of the sebaceous gland can not be visible for a long time. Atheroma is formed slowly, the process of accumulation of secretions inside the sebaceous duct takes from six months to 1 year and more. The secret inside the outlet canal consists of cholesterol, lipid elements, from deadened epithelial cells, mucus, horny scales. Cysts vary in size from very small, hardly noticeable formations, to large ones - up to 5-7 centimeters in diameter.

Symptoms of atheroma on the face often manifest themselves visually, when a person notices an unusual seal on one or another part of the facial area. Symptoms of a cyst in the clinical sense can be as follows:

• Tumor neoplasm.
• The cyst has a dense structure, which is determined by palpation.
• Atheroma has a rounded shape, quite clearly delineated, limited to the face.
• The integuments surrounding the cyst are unchanged by color or structure.
• A simple atheroma is not accompanied by painful sensations.
• The skin above the atheroma is mobile, but is not able to assemble into a fold that is characteristic of other neoplasms.
• Atheroma is prone to inflammation and suppuration, these processes cause pain, increased local temperature in the cyst zone. A fluctuation determined by palpation is possible. The skin around the cyst is hyperemic.
• Purulent atheroma has a typical appearance of a developing abscess - a swollen formation with a white middle.

Symptoms of atheroma on the face may differ depending on the location of the lesion. The localization of atheroma on the face of the head is as follows:

• Cyst of earlobe.
• Atheroma of the eyebrow zone.
• Quite rare is the atheroma of the forehead zone.
• Atheroma in the area of the wings of the nose, including the area of the cheek (nasolabial fold).
• Very rarely - an atheroma century.
• Cyst of the sebaceous ducts of the chin.
• Very rarely - atheroma of the lips.

It should be borne in mind that the suppurated atheroma is prone to spontaneous dissection and puncture of the pus on the surface of the skin, but it is much more dangerous for the consequences when the purulent contents of the cyst breaks into the subcutaneous tissue and, as a result, forms phlegmon. Phlegmon, in turn, has characteristic symptoms - a sharp increase in body temperature to 39-40 degrees, a buildup of swelling in the area of suppuration, a hyperemia of the skin, necrosis of soft tissues in the area of the purulent process. Such complication in the face is very dangerous and is fraught with the development of a systemic inflammatory reaction, up to sepsis.

Atheroma of lacrimal flesh

The lacrimal apparatus is considered a part of the structure of the eye, its main task is to protect the eyes from external factors and maintain the cornea, conjunctiva, maintaining a normal level of humidity in them. The lacrimal secret is diverted to the outside or into the nasal cavity with the help of the lacrimal gland, small glands, tear ducts

Lacrimal organs produce and divert tear fluid into the nasal cavity; they consist of the lacrimal gland, additional small lacrimal glands and specific pathways - rivus lacrimalis (lacrimal streams), lacus lacrimalis (lacrimal lake), canalicu us lacrimalis (tear ducts). It is in the zone of the lacrimal lake that caruncula lacrimalis is localized - the teardrop is a visible part of the eye surface covered with conjunctiva, slightly convex and protruding in the inner corner. Atheroma of the lacrimal flesh is not common and only in those rare patients in which the caruncula lacrimalis is covered with the finest hairs. This zone of the eye is considered non-functional and belongs to the category of residual vestigial organs, which were transmitted to humans "by inheritance" from possible distant ancestors. Such a site of the eye is well developed in reptiles, snakes in the form of the so-called "third century", completely unnecessary in the human body, most likely for this reason atrophied in the process of evolution, an idle organ.

Any neoplasms in the lacrimal glands of the human eye are considered a great rarity, if they are determined, then 75-80% are benign and incapable of malignancy. Cysts of lacrimal flesh are often diagnosed as epithelioma, fibroma, lipodermoid or atheroma, a histological examination of the secret inside the formation is required to differentiate the diagnosis. All these neoplasms are not dangerous for health and can not have a significant effect on visual acuity. However, atheroma of the lacrimal flesh can be accompanied by such symptoms:

• Burning sensation in the eye.
• The sensation of a foreign body in the area of a teardrop.
• Lack of increased lachrymation.
• Absence of pain.
• There may be an increase in the redness of the teardrop.

The causes of the appearance of benign neoplasms in this zone are not fully understood, however in most cases they are associated with the ingress of eyelashes, foreign bodies into the eye, as well as with microtrauma of the eye and subsequent infection. Less common is the diagnosis of congenital abnormalities of the lacrimal apparatus, which includes acute dacryocystitis or atresia of lacrimal points and tubules.

Treatment of a benign cyst of a lacrimal flesh is always performed promptly. The operation is performed under local anesthesia for patients aged 7 years and the total anesthesia is shown to babies. The earlier the tumor is removed, the less risk of inflammation, suppuration and complications in the sense of infection of other eye structures.

Atheroma on the cheek

The cyst of the sebaceous gland on the cheek is not uncommon, this zone is very rich in large glandulae sebacea, due to what the skin in this area looks the most relief and often delivers a lot of trouble from aesthetic and cosmetic point of view.

The reasons for the formation of an atheroma on the cheek can be varied:

• Disruption of the digestive tract.
• Hormonal failure, especially in the puberty and menopause.
• Acne, acne, and gums that the patient seeks to cure (squeeze) on his own.
• Non-compliance with the rules of skin care.
• Specific type of skin - oily or mixed skin.
• Seborrhea. Cheeks refer to typical seborrheic zones.
• Congenital malformations of the sebaceous glands (rarely).
• Infectious diseases of the skin.
• Systemic autoimmune processes, including scleroderma.
• Injuries of the face.
• Operations on the front zone, scars, scars (atheroma develops due to a violation of the normal process of removing the sebace secret).

Symptoms of atheroma on the cheek are characteristic for all cysts of this kind:

• Painless stage of cyst formation.
• Explicit, visible convex formation on the cheek.
• The cyst is dense to the touch.
• Skin over atheroma is not changed in color.
• The cyst is oval in shape and can reach quite large sizes due to the well-developed subcutaneous tissue and the specific skin structure in this zone.

Treatment of the sebaceous cyst on the face is considered more difficult, since the operation requires caution and delicacy. The most unpleasant complication after removal of an atheroma on the cheek is a scar, the size of which depends on the size of the tumor and the depth of its occurrence. Atheroma is always excised in total, together with the capsule, otherwise it will be impossible to avoid relapses and repeated operations. On the other hand, such an operation is inevitably accompanied by dissection of the skin, even with the use of a radio-wave or laser method, hence, the procedure is not without a scar. It is for this reason that the atheroma should be removed as soon as possible until it has increased and not inflamed, only this way it is possible to achieve an almost imperceptible seam and not to disturb the overall aesthetics, beauty of the face.

Atheroma on forehead

The sebaceous gland cyst "chooses" a specific place for formation, it needs either a hair follicle, which includes the outflowing duct glandulae sebacea, or a zone rich in a multitude of alveolar glands. Atheroma on the forehead most often develops in the hair growth zone, that is, closer to the hairline of the head itself, such neoplasms are considered benign, retentional, formed due to accumulation of sebaceous secretion and blockage of the duct outlet.

Atheroma on the forehead can be provoked by such factors:

• Disturbance of the sebaceous glands as a result of hormonal changes in age (adolescence, menopause, old age).
• Wrong skin care for the forehead, blockage of the gland ducts, pores of the skin with cosmetic products.
• Endocrine pathologies (diseases of the ovaries, adrenal glands).
• Reception of medicines (glucocorticosteroids).
• Disturbance of digestion, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Chronic acne, acne.
• Demodecosis is a microscopic tick, parasitic in hair follicles, sebaceous glands.
• Hypotrophic scars after trauma, post acne.

Atheroma on the forehead in clinical manifestations may be similar to lipoma, fibroma, epithelioma, and therefore requires precise differentiation. In addition, a specific neoplasm associated with venereal diseases, syphilitic gum, can also develop in the forehead area, which also represents a painless, uncoated, tight subcutaneous unit.

Treatment of the sebaceous gland cyst is always operative, atheroma can be removed at any stage of its development, and differential diagnostics are carried out in parallel, when during the enucleation tissue is taken for histology. Removal of atheroma on the forehead can be carried out in various ways, their choice depends on the size and condition of the lesion. Small cysts are well cleaned with a laser, purulent atheromas of the forehead are first opened, processed, drained, total excision of the capsule and its contents is possible only after neutralizing the symptoms of inflammation. One of the most effective and safe methods is the radio wave method, in which there is practically no scar left on the skin. It should be noted that proposals to remove atheroma on the face without seams and incisions are incorrect. Without a minimal cut of the skin, the cyst can not be removed, since a full extraction of its capsule is required, otherwise the atheroma will recur, so the operation will have to be repeated more than once. The radio wave method involves skin dissection within 1.5-2 millimeters, evaporation of the contents of the neoplasm, its capsules and tissue coagulation. From an aesthetic point of view, this method of the most sparing, thus, atheroma forehead can be removed forever.

Atheroma on the eyebrow

Eyebrow hair refers to bristly type of hair, they grow much slower than their "brethren" on the head and other parts of the body, in addition are more vulnerable to external factors and more resistant to internal changes in the body, for example, hormonal changes. That is why the main reason for the formation of an atheroma on the eyebrow is a violation of hygiene rules or simply contamination of the sebaceous gland duct as household elements (dirt, dust) and cosmetics. Atheroma on the eyebrow is often called trichodermal cyst, since it relates to the hair bulb - the follicle, where it actually is located.

Symptoms of atheroma in the eyebrow area:

• Painless seals on the eyebrows.
• Dense elastic structure of the cyst.
• Atheroma on the eyebrow rarely reaches a large size, it is usually determined within the limits of 0.3 to 1 centimeter.
• The cyst is mobile, has an outlet in the middle.
• Atheroma in the eyebrow area is often suppressed and opens independently with the outflow of purulent contents outwards.
• The cyst of the sebaceous gland of the eyebrow after opening is prone to recurrence and is not capable of disappearing without surgical treatment.

Atheroma in any part of the body is subject to surgical removal, in the eyebrow area its enucleation is not difficult, since this area is considered safe enough for carrying out cosmetic procedures. Removal of the cyst belongs to the category of small surgery and is performed on an outpatient basis, the minimal incision and the subsequent postoperative scar is almost invisible, as it is hiding by stiff hairs of the eyebrow. During the operation, the isolated tissues are sent for histological examination to differentiate atheroma from fibroma, lipoma, hygroma and other benign skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Atheroma on the lip

The sebaceous gland, in which atheroma forms, are divided into two types - glands located in the hair follicle and loose, individual glands. Atheroma on the lip is associated with the second type - free sebaceous glands, which are localized in the mucous membranes of the eyelids, nipples, including in the lip zone. Excretory ducts of these glands come directly to the surface of the skin, protecting it with a secret greasy secret, providing a normal level of moisture and elasticity.

The reasons why the sebaceous gland cyst (atheroma) on the lip can develop:

• Genetic location to blockage of gland ducts.
• Dysfunction of the digestive tract.
• Infectious lesions of the skin around the lips.
• Defects of the development of free sebaceous glands - asteatosis, heterotopy, Fordis disease.
• Hyperkeratosis (excessive thickening of the upper layer of the dermis) due to exposure to sunlight, as a result of mechanical trauma, due to vitamin deficiency.
• Contamination of the duct leading out of the gland by cosmetic means, including lipstick.
• Independent attempts to remove acne, gum (squeezing).

Clinical signs of atheroma on the lip:

• With Fordias disease - small atheromatous rashes in the form of small pale nodules in the mucous membrane of the lip.
• When the retention cyst is formed, the lips are a painless little seal (more often on the lower lip), which rises above the rim.

Dermatologists, cosmetologists are often called atheroma on the lip - mucocele, although such a growth does not belong to the sebaceous gland, it is a cyst of the salivary gland, which is also removed by surgery.

The retention neoplasm on the lip is considered benign, but it must be operated as early as possible to avoid inflammation and suppuration of the cyst. Atheroma is subjected to total excision with a scalpel, laser or radio wave method.

[19], [20],

Atheroma of the eye

The sebaceous gland cyst in the eye area is associated with an obstruction of the outflow duct. Most often, atheroma of the eye is initially taken for barley or adipose (lipoma), but the cyst is an independent disease requiring specific treatment.

Eyelids have so-called free glandulae sebacea, which go directly to the skin. These glands are located along the entire length of the upper eyelid plate and in the cartilaginous tissue of the lower eyelid. Atheroma of the eye is most often diagnosed on the upper eyelids, since there the sebaceous glands are more than in the lower ones, almost 2 times (up to 40 glandulae sebacea). The secreted fat secretion is transferred by the tear fluid into the medial corner of the eye into the teary lake and can accumulate there during the night, which is especially noticeable in the morning, after sleep.

Atheroma of the eye is rarely large, rather it looks like a small white nodule, painless and dense to touch. Such a cyst often becomes inflamed, it is often opened independently and again recurs for a long time.

Atheroma in the eye area should be differentiated with such neoplasms:

• Lipoma of the eye, which unlike the lime in other parts of the body, is prone to overgrowth in the liposarcoma - malignant neoplasm.
• Papilloma of the eye.
• Halyazion (inflammation and blockage of the meibomian gland).
• Seborrheic keratosis.
• Benign nevus century.
• Adenoma of the century.
• Syringoma.
• Fibropapilloma.
• Star wart.

Atheroma of the eye is treated surgically, the method is chosen depending on the initial examination and the condition of the cyst. Inflamed, suppurating atheroma is treated symptomatically, then removed, simple cysts of small size operate under local anesthesia in patients older than 10 years, young children show operations under general anesthesia. The cyst is excised in total to avoid relapse, in this sense it must be removed as soon as possible, without waiting for inflammation. Atheroma tissues are necessarily sent to the histology to exclude the malignant process in the eye area.

[21],

Atheroma century

Diseases of the eyelids in ophthalmology are conditionally divided into inflammatory, infectious, benign tumor and malignant tumor pathologies. Atheroma of the century is considered a benign neoplasm, not capable of malignancy, however, one that requires timely treatment in the form of prompt removal. Atheroma is a cyst that forms as a result of accumulation of the sebaceous secretion and plugging of the alveolar free gland duct. This new formation is differentiated from similar on the symptom of tumors:

• Keratoacanthoma (epithelial neoplasm).
• Hemangioma.
• Wart.
• Papilloma.
• Nevus.
• Lipoma.
• Halyazion (Meibomian cyst).
• Fibroma.
• The outer undeveloped barley of the century.
• The inner barley of the century.
• Blepharitis (simple, ulcerative, angular).
• Cysts of Moll.
• Cysts of Zeiss.
• Contagious molluscum of viral etiology.
• Dermoid cyst of the eyelid.
• Seborrheic keratosis.
• Xanthellasm is the accumulation of lipid elements in the medial zone of the eyelids.
• Follicular conjunctivitis.
• Hemangiomas.

Atheroma of the century is prone to inflammation, including purulent, which greatly complicates its treatment. It is much simpler and safer to remove a small, simple cyst, which is extracted totally - together with the capsule and contents in outpatient settings. Inflamed atheromas even after surgery often recur due to the fact that access to the cavity is difficult, in addition, the borders of the neoplasm are erased and the precise excision of the cyst is almost impossible. In this regard, the purulent cyst is treated, the symptoms of the remission and the period of remission are waiting, after which the complete excision of the atheroma of the century is carried out. The period of tissue repair usually lasts no more than a month and a half, the seam is so microscopic that it is completely invisible and is not considered a cosmetic defect.

[22],

Atheroma of the lower eyelid

The fat layers of the upper and lower eyelids differ from each other. The largest accumulation of fat is noted in the eye septum, the upper eyelid contains two layers, the lower one is more saturated - there are three parts of the fat layer in it. Accordingly, there are more sebaceous glands at the bottom, which causes the reasons why the atheroma of the lower eyelid is diagnosed 1, 5 times more often than a similar cyst at the top.

Atheroma of the lower eyelid is a shallow dense neoplasm in the form of a tumor that is painless and barely manifested visually. The cyst does not affect vision until it grows to an impressive size, it forms long, but with inflammation it quickly grows up to 2-3 centimeters, closing the eyeball.

Differential diagnosis of atheroma of the lower eyelid is carried out with such eye diseases:

• Xanthoma (xantelasm) - yellowish tumor, protruding above the surface of the eyelid.
• Lipoma is a typical adipose.
• Fibropapilloma.
• Hygroma.
• Star wart.
• The cyst of the meibomian gland.
• Benign nevus century.

The atheroma of the eyelids is treated only surgically. Adult patients do not require in-patient treatment, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Children under 7 years of age are hospitalized, as the cyst is removed under general anesthesia. The operation refers to fairly simple procedures, complications are possible only in the form of recurrence of atheroma due to incomplete excision.

[23], [24]

Atheroma on the nose

In the area of the nose are the largest sebaceous glands, especially many of them in the skin of the wings of the nose and in the nasolabial triangle. The skin around the nose is rather thin, the tip of the nose and wings are denser and more prominent in structure, have enlarged pores. Since atheroma tends to form in the sebaceous glands, this is the determining factor of its localization in this area. Most often, atheroma of the nose is diagnosed in the vestibulum nasi - the inner side of the wings, a place rich in small hairs and glandulae sebacea (alveolar glands). The outer part of the nome is also prone to the formation of adipose tissue, among which atheroma occupies a leading position.

Atheroma on the nose is similar in appearance to such neoplasms and skin diseases:

• Internal furuncles of the nose.
• Inflamed acne vulgaris.
• Lipomas.
• Fibroma.
• Phlegmous acne.
• Dermoid cyst of the base of the nose.
• Papilloma.

The causes of a sebaceous gland cyst in the nasal region may be as follows:

• Bold skin type.
• Non-compliance with hygiene, skin care.
• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Endocrine pathologies.
• Hyper secretion of sebaceous glands caused by hormonal disorders.
• Chronic acne, gums.
• Seborrhea of the skin (nose refers to seborrheic zones).

Atheroma of the nose looks like a condensation, clearly delineated, painless and slowly increasing. The cyst can become inflamed and transform into an abscess. After it is opened, the atheroma again increases up to its total excision by surgical means. Self-removal or resorption of the cyst is impossible due to its structure, the capsule consists of epithelial cells, the contents - from cholesterol crystals, keratinized particles and sebaceous secretions.

[25], [26], [27], [28]

How is atheroma treated in the nose?

Ways to remove the sebaceous cyst several:

1. Total enucleation of atheroma - the capsule, its contents, often nearby tissues, affected by the inflammatory process is removed. The operation is performed using a scalpel.
2. Laser removal of the cyst is possible only with small tumors (up to 2-3 centimeters), in the absence of symptoms of inflammation, suppuration.
3. Radio wave methods of evaporation of the capsule, contents and parallel coagulation of tissues, vessels.

All options for removing the sebaceous gland cyst are considered effective, if the atheroma is not suppurated, the operation does not take more than 30 minutes, the recovery period lasts no more than a month, when the small scars completely dissolve after surgical procedures.

Diagnostics of the atheroma on the face

Diagnosis of atheroma is not difficult, as a rule, the cyst is determined by examination and palpation. A more accurate, concrete picture is the result of a histological examination, when tissue removal is performed during removal.

Diagnosis of atheroma on the face does not require specific methods, most often enough to collect anamnesis, examination and palpation. An exception may be identified cysts in the eye and nose, then to clarify the diagnosis assigned CT - computer tomography, ultrasound, radiography in several projections. A more accurate result, one way or another, gives a histology that confirms the benign or other character of the neoplasm on the face.

[29], [30],

Differential diagnosis

Specific diagnosis of atheroma on the face is precisely in the differentiation, during which the cyst should be separated from similar in appearance signs of tumors of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It can be such diseases:

• Molluscum contagiosum - molluscum contagiosum. Small seals in the form of nodules, painless, dense, with a small depression in the middle.
• Gradina of the century or the cyst of the meibomian gland (haljazion).
• Lipoma - a typical zhirovik, which is a classic fatty benign tumor.
• Fibroma.
• Blepharitis (eyelids).
• Milium is whitehead.
• Hernia of the root of the nose.
• Dermatomyophybroma.
• Keloid scar.
• Elastom.
• Fibrous papule.
• Xanthogranulem.
• Papilloma.
• Warts (seborrheic, senile).
• Nevus.
• Adenoma.
• Xanthoma.
• The dermoid cyst.
• Syringoma (blockage of sweat glands).

Treatment of the atheroma on the face

Treatment of the sebaceous cyst in 100% of cases is an operation. It is necessary to immediately determine and assimilate the fact that due to its structure, the atheroma can not resolve itself or by using conservative therapy, especially alternative methods. Perhaps a short-term reduction in the cyst due to breakthrough of the contents, it is good if it happens outwardly - on the skin, worse, if dentrite seeps into the subcutaneous tissue, it is fraught with abscess, phlegmon. In the face zone, this is not just unacceptable, but also dangerous in the sense of a common infection of blood, sepsis.

Treatment for atheroma on the face is performed promptly at any stage of the process, except for the period of inflammation and suppuration. Small cysts are removed with a laser without consequences for beauty, small seams dissolve within a month and become almost invisible. The scalpel is removed by large atheromas, in such cases the dissection of the skin is inevitable, respectively, the scar can be quite large. Therefore, to wait for an increase in the cyst is impractical, as well as hoping for its "magical" independent disappearance. The earlier the atheroma is cut, the less is the risk of getting a cosmetic defect.

The operations are performed under local anesthesia, the procedure does not take much time, recovery from surgical manipulation is not required.

Purulent atheromas require longer treatment. The abscess is opened, the wound is drained, antibacterial therapy is prescribed, 14-21 days after the symptoms of inflammation subsided, atheroma is excised in total to avoid relapses. The prognosis of atheroma treatment is 100% favorable, such neoplasms are not prone to malignancy and are never transformed into a malignant process.

Removal of atheroma on the face

There are several common methods of removing atheroma on the face. Of course, every patient, regardless of gender, seeks to keep his face intact and safe, that is, to avoid the appearance of unwanted scarring. In this regard, the removal of atheroma on the face is indeed more specific, in contrast to operations on other parts of the body. However, excision of the cyst in the facial region is not difficult, the procedure lasts no more than 30 minutes, taking into account the achievements of medicine and new technologies, atheroma can be called one of the safest and most favorable in terms of prognosis diseases.

Removal of atheroma on the face, options:

• Surgical method using a scalpel. Atheroma is removed along with the membrane through a miniature incision, after which cosmetic sutures are applied.
• Laser removal of atheroma in the face is indicated for small lesions that have no signs of inflammation. This method is considered effective, painless, in addition, after the laser there is almost no scarring, which is very important for manipulation on the face.
• The radio wave method of "evaporation" of atheroma is one of the most popular methods that guarantees a relapse-free result. Non-contact technology allows you to do without seams, without complications with the most accurate, targeted introduction of the cyst in the education zone. Especially effective is the radio-wave removal of atheroma in the eye, nasolabial and cheek areas.

The choice of method depends on the condition of the atheroma - its dimensions, the presence of signs of inflammation, its location, and also the age of the patient. Removal of benign cysts is considered quite simple and is not accompanied by postoperative complications, so the timely neutralization of atheroma can now be considered a simpler procedure than even facelift or other manipulations from the discharge of contour plasty.

Prevention

The main rule that helps prevent the development of various neoplasms on the face is regular skin care, including professional cleaning in cosmetology salons. Prevention of atheroma on the face may also include such recommendations:

• Purification of skin pores with carefully selected products.
• Use of steam trays and delicate removal of excess fat from the skin.
• Compliance with the correct diet, including foods rich in fiber, vitamins and trace elements. Restriction of the use of spicy, sweet, fatty foods.
• Regular visit to the cosmetologist and the implementation of all his advice on caring for problem areas of the face.
• Required daily removal of cosmetics before bed.
• Restriction of sun exposure (under direct sunlight), use of protective cosmetics with UV protectors.
• Primates of vitamins A, E, C, complexes containing zinc, copper, iron, helping to save the turgor, the elasticity of the skin of the face.
• Elimination of any attempt at self-removal of acne, acne, or gums on the face.
• Use only high-quality, certified cosmetics and cosmetics for facial skin care.
• Timely actions to prevent the appearance of adipose, cysts before the expected period of hormonal changes (puberty, climax) - rational nutrition, the use of special antiseptic drugs (lotions, gels, scrubs, creams).
• Mandatory protection of the skin in winter to prevent dehydration, dryness and ultraviolet radiation.

Atheroma on the face is not a malignant neoplasm and never degenerates into oncoprocess. Nevertheless, in order to avoid purely cosmetic defects and associated psychological discomfort, you should carefully look after the skin of the face and contact the beautician in time when any untypical seals on it appear.
