Adipose tissue are subcutaneous outgrowths, which in medical practice are referred to by the term "lipoma". Doctors classify these tumors as safe tumors. Wen under the skin do not represent a serious health hazard. However, most people tend to remove such tumors due to cosmetic discomfort. There are several ways to get rid of wen under the skin on the hands and other parts of the body.
Causes
Researchers still can not establish a list of specific prerequisites for the formation of wen under the skin (photo can be seen in our material). However, there are many objective hypotheses regarding factors that can provoke the formation of such neoplasms. According to doctors, the causes of wen under the skin can be considered:
- the result of traumatic effects on the tissue;
- congenital tendency to the occurrence of characteristic outgrowths;
- disorders of fat metabolism in the body;
- exposure to skin of abundance of ionizing radiation;
- vitamin deficiencies along with the intake of an insufficient amount of protein;
- age-related changes in the structure of subcutaneous tissues.
According to scientists, the genetic predisposition to the formation of adipose tissue comes out on top of the above factors. The risk of the formation of such neoplasms increases significantly, if similar was previously noted in parents.
Clinical picture
What symptoms are observed with the formation of wen under the skin? In the early stages, no marked signs are noted. A person does not notice the outgrowths, since they have a small size and an elastic structure. Moreover, their occurrence is not accompanied by pain and local temperature increase. When pressed, outgrowths can shift.
Over time, clusters that previously had a soft consistency are somewhat compacted. Zhirovki begin to fuse with the surrounding tissues. The skin in the places of their formation takes on a tightened appearance. The clinical manifestation in the form of a feeling of heaviness at the site of tumor formation makes itself felt. Large wen begin to sag the skin and lead to stagnant processes in the tissues. All this looks extremely unaesthetic and makes a person look for ways to solve the problem.
What is the danger of wen?
As already noted above, wen under the skin are neoplasms of a benign nature. However, there is always a slight risk of their mutation. We are talking about cases where chronic outgrowths are covered with peculiar capsules. A dense barrier is formed, beyond which antibodies cannot penetrate to kill pathogenic microorganisms. The internal component of the adipose becomes a fruitful environment for the active reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.
Such outgrowths are dangerous when attempts are made to remove them independently. People often try to pierce or squeeze wen under the skin. However, such actions lead to serious infections in the tissue structure. Often gross interventions cause abnormal changes in the structure of adipose tissue and a significant proliferation of neoplasms.
Surgery
If a wen is formed under the skin, what should I do in such a situation? A popular solution is the surgical excision of neoplasms. The operation is as follows. The doctor makes a small incision on the skin, and then gently squeezes the encapsulated outgrowth. Then the specialist carries out the scraping of the remains of pathological tissues and performs cleaning of the wound using disinfecting compounds. At the end, stitches are applied. After removal, adipose tissue no longer forms in the area presented. However, the result of surgical intervention is the formation of scar tissue.
Laser technique
Treatment of a wen under the skin is carried out using a laser apparatus. The technique is quite expensive. However, the result is worth it: the operation is completely painless and avoids the formation of scars. When exposed to the wen with a laser, the encapsulated tissue gradually dissolves. After this intervention, the skin is smoothed over several weeks. After the operation, there is no hint of the former presence of the outgrowth.
Electrocoagulation
This technique of removing wen under the skin is quite in demand among visitors to beauty parlors. The essence of the procedure is the impact on the neoplasm by directed high-frequency electric current charges. Complete wound healing after such an operation is observed within a week and a half. There are no scars or other signs of interference at the site of exposure. In rare cases, hyperpigmentation is noted. However, the problem eventually disappears naturally.
Endoscopy
Removal of a wen under the skin on the hands and other parts of the body occurs due to the introduction of special tubes into the tissues. The neoplasm is punctured and separated from adjacent healthy structures. If the outgrowth is large, often resort to its excision and curettage of individual fragments. The consequence of the operation is the formation of minor traces of punctures on the skin through which the endoscopic apparatus was inserted. Within a few days, such damage independently heals.
Radio wave therapy
How else to get rid of a wen under the skin? An effective solution will be the removal of the neoplasm by means of exposure to pathological tissues by directed radio wave radiation. The procedure helps to dissolve not only accumulations of fat masses, but also the surrounding capsule. Application of the technique allows to avoid bleeding. The operation is completely painless. In addition, at the end of therapy, suturing is not required. Recovery after radio wave removal of the wen takes no more than a week.
Vishnevsky ointment
The tool is a popular solution not only for eliminating wen, but also for drawing other neoplasms from the skin structure. The composition of the medicine contains components with a gentle effect. For this reason, the ointment is safe to use even for pregnant and breast-feeding women.
The main active substance of the drug is atheroma. When applied to the affected areas, the component begins to pull the contents of the wen out. In the treated area, a slight inflammation forms, which can slightly fester. To heal such a wound, the tissues are treated with antiseptic compounds.
Ichthyol ointment
Fat under the skin on the arm, photos of which can be seen in the publication, are quickly eliminated through the use of ichthyol ointment. The product has a resolving effect. The drug produces a pronounced effect on lipomas, warming local tissues. The result is a gradual dissolution of the growth. The individual components of the ointment prevent the formation of inflammatory processes. Apply the composition is not recommended for mucous membranes. Based on this, it is better to resort to the use of other means if wen appear in the face.
Balm "Asterisk"
The product is made on the basis of essential oils synthesized from peppermint, cinnamon, camphor, cloves and eucalyptus. An auxiliary component is vaseline. These substances are distinguished by their ability to penetrate into the deeper layers of tissues and resorb neoplasms. The composition also contains menthol and beeswax, which relieve concomitant discomfort during treatment.
Due to its natural composition, balm is considered an absolutely safe way to eliminate wen. However, the use of the drug is not advised to people who have individual intolerance to the components, as well as to pregnant women.
Celandine
The juice of the plant is a rather caustic substance. When it gets on the skin at the site of the formation of the wen, an ulcerated area occurs. Over time, a hole appears here that allows access to the outgrowth. This helps to remove the contents of the tumor by any available method. For such purposes, you can apply compresses based on the same Vishnevsky ointment or apply aloe leaves to the affected area. Despite the effectiveness of the method, during therapy it will be necessary to endure considerable discomfort, since such treatment is accompanied by the development of a rather pronounced pain syndrome.
Hellebore root
The absorption of neoplasms in the skin structure and the cleansing of adjacent tissues is facilitated by the use of a preparation prepared on the basis of the hellebore plant root. Dried raw materials are thoroughly ground to a powdery mass. To make a serving of medicine, 50 mg of the substance is poured into a glass of boiled water. The remedy is insisted throughout the day. Next, the composition is carefully filtered. The infusion is consumed daily in one portion. Absorption of wen with this therapy can take months. However, the result will be a complete cleansing of tissues from fat accumulations. Before using this method, consult your doctor - hellebore is poisonous.
Garlic
The use of garlic in order to remove wen under the skin will be a rational solution, since the juice of the plant has irritating and antiseptic properties. During local use, there is an active stimulation of blood flow to the area of neoplasm formation. All this contributes to the gradual resorption of the subcutaneous outgrowth.
How to use a remedy for the treatment of wen? A few cloves of garlic are ground into gruel. Such raw materials are combined with 2-3 drops of vegetable oil. The resulting mass is rubbed in the area of outgrowth formation. The procedure is performed daily until the problem completely disappears.
Finally
Each of the above methods of combating adipose is quite high efficiency. An excellent solution for a speedy non-surgical solution to the problem is the combination of individual drug and alternative methods of therapy. Of course, before resorting to specific actions, it is worth discussing these methods with your doctor. It is not recommended to remove the growths on your own, as this will only exacerbate the problem.
