Sealing under the skin can cause quite severe discomfort. Sometimes these bumps do not manifest themselves, but in most cases they cause pain.
Reasons for compaction
- injury (moreover, compaction may occur a long time after the injury, when a person has already forgotten about it);
- exacerbation of the disease;
- metabolic disorder;
- infections
- stress or overstrain;
- prolonged insolation.
Sometimes only a seal under the skin can indicate the presence of a disease. Even if there are no other signs, a specialist consultation is necessary to determine the cause of any "bump". This is necessary, first of all, in order to exclude a malignant tumor or to begin timely treatment at the initial stage.
Types of Seals
Depending on the place of appearance, appearance and size of the seals, they are divided into several separate types of disease. Subsequently, the method and nature of treatment depends on this.
Atheroma. This seal under the skin on the back, head, face and neck in the form of a solid formation. It does not cause pain, has clear boundaries and a round shape. When pressed, from the middle, lard may stand out.
Lipoma. In another way, it is called a wen and can appear on any part of the body. The seal is not painful, can have various sizes, under the skin is formed in the form of a moving ball.
Hygroma. It occurs on the hands and wrist joints. It does not cause discomfort and measures several centimeters.
Asking. It looks like a white seal on the skin of the face. There is a disease due to the fact that subcutaneous fat lingers in the sebaceous gland. Seals become white due to the contact of fat with air. The disease can be prevented by daily face cleansing, in particular, oily skin care is necessary . Seals are painless, but have an unsightly appearance. Hormone occurs in newborn babies even in the womb, after exposure to the hormones of the mother. In infants, such a seal under the skin is not subject to treatment, it goes away with time.
Hernia. Seals appear in the abdomen, navel, and groin (depending on the type of hernia). They are painless and disappear for a while, if pressed on. This education is removed by a surgical method, however it is better to consult a doctor about this. It is impossible to start the disease, because at any moment the hernia can be impaired, which sometimes leads to the most serious consequences, up to the death of the patient.
Inflammation of the lymph nodes. This type of compaction is painful and appears due to an increase in lymph nodes. May also occur after surgery.
Abscess. A painful seal under the skin on the leg, arm or body that occurs after an injury (sometimes even a small scratch is enough). The disease is accompanied by malaise, fever, redness. The very place of compaction is painful, hot on palpation. An abscess threatens with serious complications, so when the first symptoms appear, you need to seek medical help.
There are other types of diseases that are no less dangerous to health. It seems very difficult to guess the cause of the seal, and guessing in this case is unacceptable. The necessary examination should be carried out, and then appropriate treatment should be prescribed.
Seal removal
The seal under the skin must be removed not only for health reasons, but also for cosmetic purposes. Any formations look ugly, and many bring discomfort. The complex of therapeutic measures consists in making a diagnosis, conducting preparatory procedures and direct removal of seals. In most cases, operations are not too traumatic, recovery after them is quick enough (unless, of course, we are talking about an oncological process that proceeds with the formation of a seal under the skin).
