Everything should be perfect in a person - a famous proverb says. But sometimes the body can slip unpleasant surprises in the form of wen. This will be discussed now.
What it is?
It’s not a secret to anyone what wen on the face look like . Photos of people with similar problems often decorate the walls of medical institutions and beauty salons. But here a different problem may arise: people often do not understand what it is and how this problem affects human health. First of all, I want to say that adipose tissue alone (on the face or other other part of the body) poses absolutely no threat to life or human health. They are also not harbingers of cancer. These are fat formations that have only an unaesthetic appearance. In medicine, these formations are called lipomas.
Types of Lipomas
There are two types of wen on the face:
- Xanthelasma These are yellow fatty formations that most often appear in the upper and lower eyelids. These wen can merge with their neighbors, can also grow. Their essence is sebum.
- Miliums. These are white wen on the face. Meet most often. They protrude slightly under the skin, can be anywhere on the skin of the face and even the whole body. Their essence: the accumulation of subcutaneous fat and horn particles. Their only difference from ordinary eels: they can not be squeezed out, because do not have an outlet.
Reason 1. Disease
Why can wen appear on the face? The causes, according to doctors, are hidden in the presence of certain diseases in the patient (about half of all cases of these fat lumps). What health problems can cause lipomas?
- High blood sugar (including diabetes).
- High blood cholesterol. Impaired lipid metabolism also has a huge effect on the appearance of lipomas.
- Various types of malfunctions in the digestive tract. Most often, this leads to a sedentary or sedentary lifestyle of a person.
- Why do wen on the face? The causes can be hiding in the malfunctioning of the liver, kidneys or bladder.
- Endocrine diseases, as well as problems with the thyroid gland.
- Problems with fluctuating levels of certain hormones.
- Avitaminosis. By the way, this is the most common medical problem of the occurrence of lipomas. The thing is that a person at a certain stage of life simply does not receive the necessary vitamins and minerals, which contributes to the formation and deposition of fatty deposits under the skin on the face.
Reason 2. Improper skin care
Why do some people get fat on their faces? The causes (in about 25% of cases) are hidden in improper skin care. There are two huge problems here:
- Wrong selection of cosmetics for skin care. Most often, these are people who have oily or problem skin, as well as adolescents.
- Inadequate cleaning of the skin of the face from dirt and sebaceous deposits.
If you remove the white wen on the face, but do not further change your attitude to cleansing the skin or choosing cosmetics, lipomas will periodically also appear and disturb the eye with their presence.
Reason 3. Unidentified
What else can a doctor or cosmetologist say to people who have wen on their face? The causes of lipomas in 25% of cases are generally incomprehensible. This suggests that this problem has not yet been fully studied by doctors.
Cosmetic disposal methods
If a person has fattys on his face, it is best in this case to seek help from professionals. And if doctors are reluctant to tackle this problem, then cosmetologists - with pleasure. In which case, what methods will they prefer?
- A mechanical way to get rid of a wen on the face.
- Laser method.
- Chemical peeling.
- Electrocoagulation
- Exposure to radio waves.
- Puncture-aspiration method.
In addition to the fact that almost all of these methods of getting rid of a wen are unavailable at home, it is a huge plus that the intervention in the problem is of specialists. In this case, the patient will be guaranteed sterility of the entire procedure and responsibility for the results of the activity by the cosmetologist.
Home methods
If a wen appears on your face, what should you do to a person who does not want or is not able to turn to professionals for help? In this case, you can try to cope with the problem at home.
- Puncture and extrusion. You can try at home to independently pierce the accumulation of subcutaneous fat and squeeze out the lipoma. Here you need to thoroughly disinfect all the tools involved: a needle, gloves. However, this often does not protect the puncture site from infection. In addition, a scar often remains. So, such manipulations should be done only if you are completely sure that the infection will not enter the wound.
- Dryer. You can try to dry the wen. To do this, use any tinctures of herbs purchased at the pharmacy. This can be, for example, alcohol tincture of calendula or boric acid (these preparations are applied to the wen twice a day after thorough skin cleansing). If the lipoma is not in a neglected state, you can get rid of it in a similar way in about one and a half to two weeks.
- Moxibustion. You can try to get rid of the problem by cauterizing iodine. To do this, you need to apply this medication directly to the wen itself, without affecting the skin around it (otherwise, a medical burn of the skin may occur). After that, not only the skin looks terrible, but also the remaining wen on the face (photos of people who made a similar mistake - the first confirmation to this).
Masks
You can try to cope with lipomas with the help of masks.
- Aloe. To do this, you need to take a fleshy leaf of aloe, cut a square out of it, cut off the top so that the insides of the leaf are exposed. It is this live weight that you need to attach a leaf to the wen. On top of this compress is sealed with a plaster. It should be worn from 2 to 8 hours. You can stick it on for the night.
- Golden mustache. The leaves of this plant should be washed, chopped into gruel and applied to the wen for a couple of hours.
- Red pepper. On a bandage soaked with medical alcohol, you need to put a pinch of red ground pepper. Apply this compress to the wen for 20 minutes. Avoid the area around the eyes.
