Get Sebaceous Hyperplasia Treatment Online

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign condition in which individual oil glands in the skin become enlarged, forming small yellowish or flesh-colored bumps, typically with a central pore. It is most common on the face and tends to occur in middle-aged to older adults.

The exact cause is not fully understood, but contributing factors include aging, chronic sun exposure, fair skin, and long-term use of the immunosuppressant medication cyclosporine. Hormonal influences on sebaceous gland activity also play a role.

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign condition and is not dangerous. However, individual lesions can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from basal cell carcinoma visually, so a physician or dermatologist should evaluate any new or changing skin lesion.

Topical retinoids such as tretinoin can reduce the size and prominence of sebaceous hyperplasia lesions with prolonged use by normalizing sebaceous gland activity and promoting cellular turnover, though results vary by individual and lesions may return after stopping treatment.

Recurrence is common with sebaceous hyperplasia, especially after topical treatments are stopped. Ongoing maintenance therapy and sun protection can help reduce the frequency and size of returning lesions.
