Fat on the face, in other words lipomas - formations on the skin, which include subcutaneous fat. Such formations do not pose a particular danger to humans, therefore, not all patients seek to eliminate them. Nevertheless, patients whose lipomas provoke serious discomfort and cause discomfort go to see doctors. You should consider how to remove the wen on the nose. To do this, you need to visit a professional cosmetologist or dermatologist, who will consult and prescribe an effective treatment method.
The main varieties of wen
There are two common types of wen on the surface of the skin:
- Miliums. Such formations are most common. In appearance, they are more like white nodules that protrude slightly above the surface of the skin. When touching the formation, you can feel the density, since a large number of dead skin particles accumulate in it. Wenes differ from simple acne rashes on the face by the absence of excretory ducts, which indicates that they cannot be squeezed out on their own. Wen most often spread in the eyelids, on the forehead and nose wings.
- Xanthelasma Such adipose tissue spread mainly over the eyelids and look like formations of white color. They can appear in a single amount or form in whole groups. In some cases, several lipomas merge with each other.
Both types of wen do not provoke unpleasant pain and do not pose a particular danger to humans. But in many cases, lipoma is a serious cosmetic disorder that is quite difficult to mask on your own. People go to the removal of wen mainly for aesthetic reasons.
Reasons for the appearance
White adipose on the nose is formed due to obstruction of the ducts of the fatty glands, which leads to the fact that sebum accumulates in large quantities in a certain area and does not go outside. Adipose tissue grows rapidly and leads to the appearance of formations of a soft structure.
The most common causes of defeat experts include:
- predisposition at the genetic level, in this case, fat cells are formed in excessive quantities;
- problems with the production of hormones during puberty, when bearing a child and during menopause;
- certain diseases in the body: diabetes, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, kidney and liver diseases, problems with the functioning of the thyroid gland;
- metabolic disorders;
- infectious diseases that have gone into the acute stage;
- problems with the sebaceous glands;
- due to the use of certain foods, which contain excessive amounts of fat, cholesterol and preservatives;
- sedentary lifestyle, lack of activity and exercise
- the use of low-quality cosmetics or products that cause allergies to a certain type of skin;
- improper care of the surface of the skin of the face;
- prolonged use of drugs;
- exposure to bad habits (intake of excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages, smoking);
- bruises and injuries of the nose.
Symptoms of defeat
Particular attention should be paid to the symptoms of the appearance of wen on the nose. Zhirovki in this area of the face can be formed in any person, regardless of his age category and gender. In appearance, such formations are similar to small swelling. When pressing on the wen with your finger, you can feel that the tumor formation is soft and its mobility. The skin above the lipoma and at its location remain healthy, do not change their appearance. In very rare cases, the formation on the nose begins to become inflamed. In the normal state, such adipose tissue changes in size very slowly and does not lead to unpleasant sensations in humans.
In most cases, a type of wen, such as a milium, occurs in the nose. It is formed, both on the wings of the nose and at its end, and on the nose. The fat on the wing of the nose looks like formations of white color (in some cases with a touch of yellow), which stand out strongly above the surface of the skin. The total size of the formation does not exceed 3 millimeters, and also it does not change for a long time.
Most often, such nodules occur on the nose of a newborn baby in the first days of his life. They do not cause discomfort and do not carry unpleasant sensations, as a rule, they pass independently after a few years.
Deterioration
If a patient with a wen on his nose suddenly began to feel pain, burning in the wen, and redness and swelling appear on the affected area, this indicates that the inflammatory process has begun in the formation. This condition is dangerous because the tumor can break through at any moment, and an infectious process will begin inside the epidermis. It is forbidden to allow such a condition, when the first negative symptoms appear, it is important to immediately see a doctor who will determine the condition of the education and prescribe a comprehensive and effective treatment.
Should education be removed?
In appearance, the formation that appeared in the nose is very similar to an acne, but it is forbidden to squeeze it out yourself. Firstly, trying to independently eliminate a lipoma with your hands or a needle, you can accidentally introduce an infection inside, which will lead to the onset of extensive inflammation. Secondly, in the best case, a specialist will be able to eliminate only the visible part of the formation, and his capsule will remain under the skin, so a relapse will occur with a great risk. Thirdly, after self-extrusion of a tumor formation on the nose, a pronounced unpleasant scar remains.
It should also be noted that the wen on the nose is forbidden to hide with cosmetic products, as this can also provoke inflammation. It is strictly forbidden to try to get rid of a wen on your own through extrusion, if the inflammatory process has already occurred, this will lead to the spread of infection to nearby tissues and complicate further treatment of the formation.
When to go to the doctor?
It is important to go to the doctor on time. Removing a wen on a small nose will not take too much time, and after surgery, a very small and almost invisible scar will remain on the skin. A tumor on the nose in an advanced stage of development is quite difficult to eliminate even through surgery. In addition, after removal, a deep and noticeable scar will remain on the skin, which will adversely affect the appearance.
Treatment methods
How to quickly remove a lipoma wen from the nose? You can use medicines only in the presence of a small wen, and also when there is no inflammatory process.
Before the procedure, it is important to consult with your doctor. The easiest and most effective method of eliminating a wen is the use of hydrogen peroxide, Vishnevsky ointment, bodyaga, as well as ichthyol ointment.
Specialist treatment
In medicine, the following methods for removing a wen are presented:
- The most effective and efficient way to eliminate a wen in the nose is to use a painless laser removal. Through this procedure, the adipose itself is eliminated, and the diseased area of the epidermis is also disinfected.The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.

Laser removal is contraindicated during the bearing of a child, during menstruation, with diabetes mellitus, herpes, or reduced immune defense.
- How to remove a wen on the nose? Another effective and painless method for removing lipomas on the nose is radio wave excision. During this procedure, a specialist using a specialized radio knife performs an incision in the tissues, stops bleeding from small vessels. Nearby located tissues under such exposure are almost not injured, for this reason, after surgical intervention there are minimal and almost imperceptible traces. Radio wave excision is forbidden in the presence of a built-in pacemaker.
- Cryodestruction is much less commonly used - a procedure in which liquid nitrogen is used. In this case, the wen is frozen and removed, and the formed wound is healed after 2 weeks. The main disadvantage of this method of removing a wen on the nose is that a repeated procedure is required, and also a small scar may remain after it.
Surgical intervention
How to get rid of a wen on the nose? In the event that the size of the education has increased, or the inflammatory process has begun, the specialist prescribes surgery. In this case, the process of inflammation is preliminarily eliminated. With the surgical removal of large lipomas, general anesthesia is used. The wen is cut, a capsule is taken out of it. After the operation, a small scar remains on the skin, but it is impossible to completely eliminate the relapse of the disease.
