Wen on head

The grease on the head is a benign tumor that is a spherical mobile subcutaneous formation. Let's look at the causes of the appearance of the wen, the methods of diagnosis and the methods of treatment.

The grease on the head is a lipoma that can be treated. Very often the adipose is confused with atheroma. Atheroma is the cyst of the sebaceous gland, it is similar in appearance to the adipose tissue. A grease on the head can appear in both an adult and a child. Most often, the tumor arises from the pathology of adipocytes, that is, fat cells or an abnormal metabolism. Some patients have hereditary causes that cause violations in the metabolism of fats. Wen does not carry a serious danger to the body, but it can become a serious cosmetic problem. Therefore, when a dummy appears, you need to contact a dermatologist to treat a neoplasm.

Causes of Wen's Head

The main causes of the adipose on the head can be determined only by a dermatologist, after carrying out a series of tests and diagnostic procedures. To date, there is no specific scientific explanation that would accurately determine the cause of this tumor. Nevertheless, a grease on the head can provoke clogging of the sebaceous glands, irregularities in the gallbladder and liver, an increase in the number of fat cells.

Depending on the cause of the appearance of the wen on the head, the tumor can be single or multiple. If a few fattyks appear on the head, then this indicates that the patient has such a disease as lipomatosis. But do not worry, because the disease is treatable, and the greens do not deliver painful sensations, only aesthetic discomfort.

Symptoms of the adipose on the head

Symptoms of the adipose on the head are practically absent. Weners appear where there is fat tissue, they have the shape of a tubercle, and when palpated, they are mobile, soft and most importantly painless. The main symptom of the wen on the head is a cosmetic defect. If the grease has appeared on the face, neck or in the forehead, then it represents a prominent bulge, similar to a cone.

A gum at the head is an asymptomatic disease, which can not be said about lipomas on other parts of the body. Thus, adipose can cause compression of surrounding organs and disruption of their work, nausea, coughing, vomiting and swelling (with the appearance of a wen in the esophagus). And if the lipoma appeared in the brain, it causes severe headaches, increased intracranial pressure, and other painful symptoms.

What does the wen on the head look like?

How does the wen on the head look like? It is a rounded tubercle of elastic consistency. At zhirovik a smooth surface, he mobile and absolutely painless. Skin over wen does not change its color, so you can see the wen only with the palpation of the head.

The dimensions of the wen are small, ranging from 1.5 to 3 centimeters in diameter. But there are cases when the grease reaches and large sizes up to 10 centimeters. In this case, you can easily feel the structure of the tumor. Pain in the area of the adipose can appear only if it contains a nervous tissue. Please note that it's useless to squeeze out weniks yourself. Since the lipoma is surrounded by a connective tissue and capsule, therefore it can be removed only surgically.

Widow on the child's head

The grease on the head of a child often appears in the forehead or in the hair growth zone. When probing the wenok is soft enough, mobile and easily skates under the skin. But the lipoma can be more dense, it is possible if the connective tissue was touched when the wen began to appear.

As a rule, the deeper the fatty gland is, the higher its density at palpation. If the adolescent appears in a child of an early age, then it is very easy to notice, because during this period the baby still has short hair. Weners do not pose a danger to the child's body. If zhirovik appeared in the forehead area, then it can be removed only when the child reaches 5-7 years old, but not earlier.

Are dummies on the head dangerous?

Dangerous wives on the head - with timely treatment, they do not pose a threat. To determine the danger of a dummy, it is necessary to undergo a diagnosis of the disease in a dermatologist. In addition to the examination, the dermatologist must perform a cytological analysis, ultrasound and biopsy. All these tests will help to prescribe effective treatment. Treatment can be both medicamentous (in the early stages of development of the wen), and surgical, that is, removal of the tumor.

But do not forget that in the absence of treatment and the presence of pathogenic conditions, a bovine newborn can transform into a malignant tumor - liposarcoma. Therefore, if you have found a soft round neoplasm on your head, do not delay with a visit to the dermatologist.

Diagnosis of Wen's Head

Diagnosis of the adipose on the head is performed by a dermatologist. To make an accurate diagnosis, the doctor conducts a clinical examination and appoints a series of tests. So, the patient needs to do ultrasound and cytological analysis with a biopsy. If the fat is large, then it is necessary to make an X-ray to determine the location of the tumor, the depth of its location and the possibility of access to it for surgical treatment.

As a rule, the diagnosis is made at the first examination, but to differentiate atheroma or lipoma from oncology it is recommended to pass the above-described tests. In some cases, the patient is given a puncture of the adipose for histological examination. This allows you to establish a final diagnosis and make an effective treatment.

Treatment of a grease on the head

Treatment of a grease on the head depends on the stage of development of the tumor, its size, location and age of the patient. There are two types of treatment - medicamentous and surgical. The first type of treatment is the administration of medications that will promote resorption of the tumor, and restore the protective functions of the body. The second option is surgical intervention. The Wen is dissected under anesthesia and the contents are cleaned - the capsule and fatty tissue.

To date, there are more modern methods of treating lipoma. The treatment uses new radio wave surgical apparatus, which painlessly removes the tumor. Another method of treatment is treatment with alternative methods. In any case, the treatment is chosen by a dermatologist.

How to get rid of a grease on your head?

How to get rid of zhirovik on the head will help to solve the dermatologist after the diagnosis of lipoma. The most effective method of treatment is surgical removal. After such treatment, Wen does not recur and in the future does not cause aesthetic problems.

Get rid of zhirovik can be through medication and alternative medicine methods. But to date, there is no effective drug treatment that would guarantee a 100% cure for the lipoma. So, once appeared zhirovik can decrease in sizes, but without surgical intervention completely will not disappear.

Removal of a grease on the head

Removing a wen on the head is a surgical procedure that is performed by a surgeon after the dermatologist's permission. The classical methods of removing fat on the head include:

• Puncture - pumping out the contents of a wen with a syringe or a special device.
• Excision - the fat is cut with a scalpel, after which the surgeon removes the capsule of the new growth from the subcutaneous tissue and cleans the wound from the fat tissues.
• Endoscopy - a small hole is made in the tumor and an endoscope is inserted. The surgeon cuts out the lipoma and its capsule, controlling the entire process with video equipment.
• Laser removal and removal with the help of a radio wave apparatus - less traumatic methods for removal of Wen.

Prevention of the adipose on the head

Prevention of the adipose on the head is to exclude the factors that trigger the appearance of the tumor and the change in adipose tissue. The basis of prevention is the observance of a healthy lifestyle. Do not be superfluous and the rejection of bad habits.

Forecast of Wen's head

Most often, the prognosis of the adipose on the head is positive. Lipomas very rarely become life-threatening and are not accompanied by painful symptoms. The prognosis depends on the treatment chosen and its effectiveness. Drug treatment does not guarantee that the wen will not appear again. Deep greens tend to relapse, in contrast to superficial ones. But surgical treatment of deep fat is not always possible. In this case, laser and radio wave treatment is used, which gives a positive prognosis for the wen on the head.

Wen on the head is a tumor that can be treated and does not cause painful symptoms. Define zhirovik it is possible at palpation of a skin of a head, but to treat it it is necessary only after diagnostics at the dermatologist. Modern methods of treatment can completely remove the wen, leaving no traces after treatment, that is, cosmetic problems.
