In almost every person on a completely healthy part of the body, a small tumor-like area may appear, which does not cause discomfort and does not differ in color from the surrounding areas of the skin. This is atheroma - a cyst formed as a result of clogging of the sebaceous glands.
Often there are questions about what is dangerous atheroma, treatment with folk remedies and methods of traditional medicine.
The disease develops imperceptibly. At first, the formation occupies a small area, but over time, its increase occurs, and in some cases inflammatory processes occur, and atheroma develops into a fatty tumor.
As a result of blockage of the ducts, the fat mass formed by the sebaceous glands cannot reach the surface. Atheroma turns into a capsule and begins to accumulate contents. Sometimes a small fresh localization takes place independently, and for a while you can forget what atheroma is. Treatment with folk remedies in this case will be required to prevent new localizations. However, an old neglected tumor cannot be eradicated without medical assistance.
Unpleasant formations usually occur in places of hair growth and are the result of blockage of the sebaceous glands located near the hair follicles. In such cases, atheroma of the scalp occurs. The main causes of the disease are metabolic disorders, trauma to the skin, dysfunction of the endocrine-hormonal system. Very dense atheromas, which have a bluish tint, appear in people with skin problems, suffering from excessive sweating, oily skin, and profuse acne. In such cases, atheroma can become inflamed and lead to ulceration.
Atherom treatment is performed by surgical methods. The most effective way to diagnose atheroma is to remove the lesions with a laser. The essence of the method is to evaporate the contents of the capsule using the high temperature that the laser beam creates. At the same time, the accompanying skin surfaces are cooled, so that the operation is painless and effective. There are no scars left, and as a result of laser exposure, the division of neighboring cells is activated, which fill the resulting void and promote healing.
Before the start of the operation, tests for the presence of cancer cells are taken , with the oncological nature of the formation, a completely different treatment will be required. True, according to long-term observations, atheroma rarely leads to the formation of a malignant tumor.
If atheroma occurs, treatment with folk remedies will not bring much effect. Herbs and infusions can only be used as postoperative skin care products. In no case, as a folk method, you can not use squeezing the capsule. This is fraught with sad consequences, the development of suppuration and extensive abscesses, up to blood poisoning.
The use of herbs and decoctions of them normalizes the work and condition of the sebaceous glands. Medicinal plants that have a beneficial effect on the skin include evading peony, spring primrose and wormwood. They are forbidden to use during a purulent process or acute inflammation, and possibly only after the atheroma has been removed.
Treatment with folk remedies should be performed only after consulting with a dermatovenerologist.
Since no effective methods for resorption of the formations were found, folk remedies must be used to improve the general condition and prevent the disease. In such cases, the chances of atheroma leaving a person alone increase significantly.
