Atheroma: treatment and the causes of its occurrence

Atheroma is the epidermal or follicular cyst, inside a cyst filled with excreta or a paste-like substance. We can say that atheroma, the treatment of which depends on the stage of development, is a subcutaneous capsule containing a curdled mass.

Sometimes in the middle of the atherian formation a hole is observed, from which contents with an unpleasant color and odor can be released. Formations can be single or multiple.

Atheroma. Causes of appearance

The most common cause of atheroma is a blockage of the ducts of the sebaceous gland or swelling of the hair follicle.

The appearance of atheromas is affected by hormonal and hereditary factors.

The location and frequency of appearing atter

At most people, at least once in a life, an atheroma suddenly appears. More often it happens in men aged 20-30 years, with time education increases in size.

The most common phenomenon is an atheroma on the back, less often it develops on the earlobe, on the neck, face, chest, shoulders or on the head.

Atheroma: treatment

There are various treatments for this education. Basically, surgical excision of atheroma with suturing is performed. The technique of removal of an atheroma by the laser has well proved, sometimes experts use a radio wave method of disposal of an atheroma, applying a special scalpel.

A sebaceous secret is released from the opening to the surface of the skin, which can cause bacterial infection, which manifests itself as a complication in the form of soreness and suppuration. In this case, the inflammatory process is removed, and then the atheroma capsule is removed.

Atheroma, the treatment and removal of which is not complicated by infection, is removed by routine surgical intervention. An accurate diagnosis is established by a specialist after the ultrasound examination and examination by a dermatologist and oncologist.

Atheroma. Treatment: Surgical

The doctor tells the patient what method anesthesia, operation, and what the expected duration of the recovery process will be. Removal of atheromas is given at the time agreed upon with the patient or on the day of treatment in the clinic.

At the surgical method of treatment of atheroma, it is supposed to use different methods:

• In the place on the skin where the greatest swelling of the formation is observed, the surgeon makes a cut, squeezes through it the contents of the atheroma, and then removes the capsule of the atheroma or cleans the cavity of the formation;
• The skin is cut over the formation so that the capsule is not damaged, then the skin shifts from the atheroma and the capsule with its contents is squeezed onto the surface;
• Atheroma is excised on both sides by fringing incisions covering its opening, then it is "scraped" by the scissors on the skin.

Atheroma. Treatment by radio wave method

This method implies the removal of atheroma with the use of high-frequency radio waves, which carry out the vaporization of the capsule of atheroma. The operation is performed under local anesthesia, and its duration does not exceed 15 minutes.

The advantage of this method of getting rid of atheroma is that after it there is no scar left, and the probability of bleeding is minimized. The healing time is also accelerating. And most importantly, with this method of removing atheroma, the possibility of education in the future is excluded.
