What should I do if I have black lumps on my face?

Acne is a very annoying phenomenon. Acne often grows on people's faces, causing great damage to their image. There are many types of acne. Among them, many people will grow some pimples with black lumps on their faces. They feel very hard and painful. Let’s take a look at what to do if you have acne with black lumps on your face?

Sebaceous cysts, commonly known as "sebaceous tumors", are retention cysts formed mainly due to obstruction of the sebaceous gland excretion ducts, which causes the sebaceous gland cystic epithelium to swell with gradually increasing contents. It is characterized by a slowly growing benign lesion. There is white bean curd-like secretion in the cyst. It can occur at any age, but is more common in young and middle-aged people, and is prone to occur on the head, face, neck, chest and back. Sebaceous cysts protrude from the surface of the skin and generally have no subjective symptoms. If secondary infection occurs, they may cause pain and suppuration.

treat

The most commonly used radical cure is surgical resection under local anesthesia. Sebaceous cysts are small tumors on the body surface. The surgery is simple and can be performed in an outpatient clinic. The cyst should be removed as completely as possible without leaving any cyst wall, otherwise it is prone to recurrence. Since sebaceous cysts mostly occur on the face, the cosmetic effect should be considered during surgical excision. A small incision can be used to remove the sebaceous cyst on the face and neck, and the skin can be sutured without tension to avoid the growth of scars and achieve a beautiful effect.

Antibiotics should be used appropriately if there is infection before surgery and to control inflammation after surgery. Sebaceous cysts that have been infected should be surgically removed after the infection is controlled. For patients whose local infection cannot be controlled or has been complicated by abscess, incision and drainage should be performed.

CO2 laser and electro-ion minimally invasive methods are considered to be good methods for treating cysts without concurrent infection. They are particularly suitable for the treatment of sebaceous cysts on the face due to their simple operation, small incision, little bleeding, no need for sutures, almost no scars, and low recurrence rate.

prevention

To prevent the occurrence of sebaceous cysts, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Keep facial skin clean to keep the sebaceous glands open and facilitate the excretion of secretions.

2. When the facial skin is itchy, do not scratch it at will to avoid causing facial skin infection, damaging the opening of the sebaceous glands, causing retention of sebaceous gland secretions, and promoting the formation of sebaceous cysts.

3. Do not squeeze facial skin boils, etc.
