How to effectively treat sebaceous nevus?

Sebaceous nevus is a type of hamartoma that is common in the head, neck, and scalp. Especially after entering puberty, the patient's symptoms will become more obvious, so scientific treatment is necessary. You can apply moisturizing burn ointment locally, pay attention to sun protection, and use laser for sebaceous gland treatment.

1. Sebaceous nevus is a kind of hamartoma composed of sebaceous glands, also known as organoid nevus. Sebaceous nevus is relatively common, usually occurring at birth or shortly after birth, and is prone to occur on the head and neck, especially on the scalp.

2. Sebaceous nevus born on the surface of the scalp will cause the affected area to not grow hair. When the patient enters puberty, the affected area will thicken and the area will expand. The surface of the disease will be papilloma-like, and the yellow color of the affected area will begin to become obvious. When the patient reaches adulthood, the sebaceous nevus will become wart-like and have a firmer texture. A small number of patients will develop symptoms of adnexal tumors on the basis of the symptoms of sebaceous nevus, and the tumor may even metastasize.

3. Pay attention to nursing knowledge when treating sebaceous nevus. First of all, sebaceous nevus treatment will cause redness and swelling, which is a normal phenomenon and will gradually disappear after 6 hours. Apply moist burn ointment topically for 4 to 6 days, 1 to 2 times a day to prevent secondary infection. Scars may appear after infection. Be sure to use sunscreen, otherwise it will cause temporary pigmentation.

4. Laser treatment of sebaceous nevus is targeted and does not damage the skin, so it will not leave scars when removed and the skin's original color can be completely restored quickly. However, some diseased blood vessels are distributed three-dimensionally under the skin. Each laser excision can only remove part of the blood vessels, so the excision often needs to be performed in multiple times. More times will be needed, but what we are most relieved about is that the treatment of sebaceous nevus can be completely safe.

5. Do not peel off the scab after treatment of sebaceous nevus. It needs to fall off on its own. After the scab falls off, there may be temporary pigmentation in the local area. To prevent or reduce this situation, you can reasonably use sunscreen and freckle removal products. After the treatment of sebaceous nevus, you should pay attention to your diet. It is not advisable to eat heavy foods, spicy foods, and eat more crude fiber foods.
