Sebaceous Hyperplasia on Scalp: Causes, Symptoms & Removal Options

Sebaceous hyperplasia

* These are common, non-cancerous skin growths that are caused by an overproduction of sebum, the oily substance that lubricates the skin and hair.

* They typically appear on the scalp, face, and back, and can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters.

* Sebaceous hyperplasia can be removed through a variety of methods, including:

* Cryotherapy: Freezing the bumps with liquid nitrogen.

* Electrosurgery: Using an electric current to destroy the bumps.

* Laser therapy: Using a laser to target and destroy the bumps.

* Excision: Surgical removal of the bumps.

The best treatment option for sebaceous hyperplasia will depend on the individual's specific case. A dermatologist can help to determine the best course of treatment.
