Sebaceous gland cyst, also known as powder tumor, is a kind of unreal tumor, which is formed by the blockage of the external orifice of sebaceous gland. It often occurs in the subcutaneous tissue of the head, dermis and other parts. Sebaceous cyst should be completely removed together with the cyst wall when it is not infected, and the residual cyst wall will recur. Antibacterial drugs can be used first when complicated with infection, and incision and drainage are needed after suppuration, and surgical resection can be performed after acute inflammation subsides.
Clinical manifestations:
1. The tumor is round, as small as a bean and as large as several centimeters. It is connected with superficial skin and can move away from the basal tissue.
2. Sometimes there is a small plug like a blackhead and acne in the sebaceous gland mouth, which can produce white muddy sebum when squeezed.
3. Generally there is no other discomfort. If there is a secondary infection, there will be redness, tenderness, purulent and festering.
