Sebaceous gland cysts, commonly known as "powder tumors", can occur at any age, but are mostly young adults. Cysts are mostly formed by the accumulation of glandular contents after the blockage of the sebaceous gland ducts.
Last year, a patient, Xiao Zhang, came to the outpatient clinic to register and complained that a few years ago he found that he had a small drum bag on his back, because it was not painful or itchy, so he had not cared.
Gradually, this small mass grows bigger and bigger, and when sleeping flat at night, it will squeeze this small drum bag, so that Xiao Zhang feels very uncomfortable, and when he touches it with his hand, he finds that this small mass has grown to the size of a small bun, and after realizing the seriousness, he rushes to the doctor.
After listening to Xiao Zhang's medical history description, I examined the mass on his back and found that there was a foreign body about 5×5 cm in size under the skin of Xiao Zhang's back, with medium hardness, elasticity, smooth surface, and could be moved by nudging with hand.
After the physical examination, I informed Xiao Zhang of my rough inference that the subcutaneous mass was a sebaceous adenoma and suggested that Xiao Zhang undergo surgery to remove it.
Many people are very scared when they hear the word tumor. So, is the powder tumor a tumor, and will it become cancerous in the end?
In fact, the powder tumor is not a tumor, and the chance of becoming cancerous is minimal. For small powder tumors that have not yet produced consciousness in the human body, it can be observed; If you are already infected with painful symptoms, you should be treated surgically. Once the patient is confirmed, surgery to remove the cyst should be performed.
Studies have found that in order to reduce the possibility of sebaceous gland cysts, the most important thing is to keep the skin clean, so that the sebaceous gland opening is unobstructed, which is conducive to the excretion of secretions.
If the surface of the skin is not cleaned with dust, sweat, oil, etc., it is easy to cause pore blockage, and the secretions of the sebaceous glands cannot be discharged from the surface of the skin, and they can only accumulate under the skin and form a powder tumor.
Therefore, when pores are generally blocked, the skin nerves will feel uncomfortable, unsettling, and even itchy, and need to be wiped with paper towels or washed with water in time.
Then, we must change bad habits. Due to staying up late, sleeping late, lack of sleep, etc., it will cause endocrine disorders in the body and promote the growth of powder tumors.
Therefore, adjust the work and rest time and go to bed as early as possible; Do more exercise every day, exercise the body to enhance immunity, etc. By adjusting the diet and life rules, the chance of powdery tumor breeding is reduced.
