THE MOST CURIOUS ABOUT THE OIL GLAND PROBLEM ARE

In this section, we tried to answer the most curious questions from you about the sebaceous gland and treatment methods.

WHAT IS AN OIL GLAND (LIPOMA)?

Oil glands usually make people visually uncomfortable. Therefore, it is undesirable to have an oil gland. Although they are characterized as a simple form of tumour, they are usually benign. Some of us are trying to eliminate this problem by using needles or squeezing and popping them at home. This is a very objectionable act. Because it can both cause infection and greatly increases the likelihood of scarring in the area where the sebaceous gland is located. Therefore, the elimination of the sebaceous gland should be carried out by specialists in a health centre with the necessary tools and materials, taking into account hygiene conditions. Especially the sebaceous glands, which are painful and excessively enlarged, should be checked in medical institutions and removed by surgical operation.

DOES THE SEBACEOUS GLAND TURN INTO CANCER?

The probability of turning into cancer is very low. As stated above, if there is a painful condition or excessive growth, it is necessary to consult a doctor urgently. Because a type of cancer called liposarcoma, which occurs in the tissue, has the appearance of an oil gland and can deceive people.

WHY IS THE SEBACEOUS GLAND FORMED?

The causes of the formation of sebaceous glands are not fully known. However, some factors increase the likelihood of sebaceous gland formation. These factors are brief:

Genetic predispositions are high cholesterol, metabolic disorders, skin damage or impact, advanced age, unhealthy diet, obesity and liver diseases.

HOW IS THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE SEBACEOUS GLAND MADE?

Oil glands in a visible state can be detected by specialists only by physical examination. Displacement is observed in many types of sebaceous glands when manually intervened. If there is no such observation, that is, if it has a fixed structure and there is swelling, it may be a harbinger of another disease. Considering the risk of being confused with other diseases in glands with a larger structure and a harder structure, it should be ensured that the diagnosis is finalized thanks to ultrasonic imaging. Although the removal of oil glands is performed in beauty centres other than hospitals, it should be noted that it is a competent, hygienic and reliable centre.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF OIL GLANDS?

According to their structure, they are considered in 3 different groups. These:

Fat Cysts: they are usually seen on the scalp. They are not in the meringue structure. It has a more fluid structure and there is a thin layer of skin on it.
Benign Adipose Tissue Tumors: They are usually seen in the neck and back area. They are in the structure of meringue. They are usually good-natured. They are light yellow in colour. They have a hard structure. They have a structure that can reach large sizes. In this case, a surgical intervention is needed.
Malignant Adipose Tissue Tumors: These are masses formed as a result of the cancellation of adipose tissue under the skin. These tumours are also called liposarcomas. The colour of the fluid contained in these tumours changes from yellow to grey. This type of sebaceous gland, which is rarely encountered, should be removed by a surgical operation.
In addition to the oil glands grouped above, there are also oil glands that occur in custody and are divided into three parts. These are Xanthelesma, syringoma and milium.
