Lipoma & Sebaceous Cyst Removal
HOME / Lipoma & Sebaceous Cyst Removal
What is a Lipoma?
Simply speaking, a Lipoma is a benign lump or tumour which means it is actually harmless. It is a lump, formed of fatty tissue that grows between the skin and muscle layers in your body.
Although they can occur anywhere in the body but they are commonly found in the upper torso, arms, or thighs.
What is Sebaceous Cyst?
Sebaceous cysts are quite similar to lipomas and these are seen very close to skin surface. They are mainly consequences of the sebaceous glands in the skin getting blocked for some reason. They are painless and are mostly and filled with a yellowish dirty cheesy material. Sometime their content can be expressed out through their central pore or opening called punctum.
Difference Between a Lipoma and Sebaceous Cyst
What differentiates a lipoma from a sebaceous cyst is that the lipomas are generally located much more deeper than the sebaceous cyst and there is no visible punctum.
Although harmless, yet they need to removed for medical or cosmetic reasons. For instance, lipomas can rarely become cancerous and sebaceous cysts can however become infected if left untreated. That’s why you should get help from an expert consultant surgeon as soon as possible.
