Sebaceous hyperplasia are very common skin-colored to yellowish bumps that occur on the face, and sometimes on the upper body. They often have a bumpy “lobulated” appearance with a central dell.
These lesions can be removed or diminished in appearance by the following techniques:
Shave Excision
The sebaceous hyperplasia is carefully removed using shave technique so that it becomes flush with the surrounding skin.
Electrodesiccation
Light use of heat is used for careful destruction of the sebaceous hyperplasia.
Cryotherapy
The sebaceous hyperplasia are frozen off using a probe containing liquid nitrogen.
