What is Adenoma Sebaceum?

Adenoma Sebaceum is a type of skin disorder in which small pink lesions appear on the face. This is usually a symptom of a larger condition called tuberous sclerosis, a genetic disease that can also affect the heart and the brain. SEBACEUM adenoma, which often resembles acne, is considered benign and does not pose a health risk. Treatment of skin lesions is usually performed for cosmetic reasons and includes laser surgery to remove bumps. Depending on the severity of other symptoms of tuber sclerosis, one may have to take regular medicines or undergo other types of corrective surgery. Skin tumors can take many forms, but SEBACEUM adenoma is the most common type. Infants born with tuber sclerosis may also suffer from developmental disabilities, seizures and breathing problems. The condition cannot be cured and NT healing is generally aimed at reducing symptoms and chances of dangerous medical complications.

Adenom Sebaceum tends to appear around two years and deteriorate until the child reaches puberty. Lees are described as angiofibromas, small collections of fibrous tissue and blood vessels. The humps are usually smooth, pink or light red and less than 0.2 inches (about 0.5 cm) in diameter. A person with a mild adenoma Sebaceum can only have a few lesions on the sides of the nose, while a serious case can almost cover the nose, faces and areas under the eyes.

A small number of patients with tuber sclerosis experiences adenoma Sebaceum in other areas of the skin. Some people have a lesion on their scalp and foreheads and on the lips, tongue or roof of the mouth can rarely tumors. Several people have noticeable bumps under and near nails and nails on the leg. Tuberous sclerosis can also produce a more widespread skin and tumor color, although such conditions are considered separate from the Sebaceum adenoma.

Adenoma Sebaceum is not in itself dangerous to human health, but many patients decide to undergoCorrect surgery to improve their appearance. An experienced dermatologist can perform a procedure called laser ablation to remove lesions. A number of argon oxide and carbon dioxide treatments can gradually reduce the size and importance of bumps. Since the basic sclerosis cannot be cured, lesions tend to reappear over time. In order to minimize the appearance of new angiofibromes, ongoing treatment over several months or years is generally necessary.
