Hypertrophied sebaceous glands
Hypertrophied sebaceous glands are painless, yellow lumps up to 3 mm in diameter that appear on the forehead and cheeks in middle-aged or older individuals. It is a benign form of hair follicle tumor that poses no threat to the Patient’s life or health. However, due to the presence of lumps on the face, these lesions can pose a serious aesthetic problem. If this is the case, it is recommended that the hypertrophied sebaceous glands be removed at a dermatologist’s office.
Treatment of hypertrophied sebaceous glands
Hypertrophied sebaceous glands are not a disease symptom, and their treatment is not necessary. However, for aesthetic reasons, this type of skin lesion can be removed using chemical peelings, electrocoagulation, or fractional CO2 laser. The use of modern laser is considered to be the most effective and safest method of removing unsightly lumps from delicate body parts such as cheeks and forehead. Hypertrophied sebaceous glands can recur, then it is necessary to repeat the procedure of their removal.
