Epidermoid cyst removal surgery
all parts of the body
Can occur anywhere on the body
asymptomatic
There are no obvious symptoms when it occurs.
soft core
A soft lump is touched
There may be a foul odor.
secondary infection
Secondary infection may be accompanied by pain and heat.
cause
From the outermost layer, the skin consists of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat layer.
As the cells of the epidermis grow outward, they become keratinocytes and fall off the skin.
When hair sebum hair follicles are blocked or due to trauma, epidermal cells grow in the dermis and are filled with by-products of keratinocytes, creating a pocket-like lesion.
It may be accompanied by genetic diseases such as basal cell nevus syndrome and Gardner syndrome.
therapy
1
The best treatment method is to incise the lesion site and completely remove the contents and sac.
2
For small lesions without inflammation, intralesional triamcinolone injection treatment can be attempted.
3
If secondary infection occurs, antibiotics and drainage are performed.

cause
The cause of lipoma is not yet known. In some cases, there is a hereditary tendency, such as familial lipomatosis.
Subcutaneous lipomas that occur in children may be a symptom of a certain genetic disorder (Bannayan-Zonana syndrome).
Meanwhile, cases of lipoma occurring after trauma have also been reported, but the relationship between trauma and lipoma development is not clear.
