What is a multiplex steatocystoma?
Multiplex steatocystoma is a rare condition in which many small cysts filled with pigs appear on the skin. Cysts are hollow lumps and sebum is an oily substance produced by sebaceous glands, which are located near the roots of hair. Steatocystoma multiplex is inherited diseases, but there may also be cases where there is no family history. Cysts usually develop during adolescence. Alternative disorders include sebocystomatosis and epidermal polycystic disease and in cases where only one cyst develops, the disease is known as Simplex steatocystoma. Although multiplex steatocystom is not malignant or cancer, it can be disfigured. Most often, the distribution of cysts corresponds to the areas of the body, which have the largest number of sebaceous glands, such as the skin of the chest, neck and arms. It is assumed that cysts arise from unusual development in nicoplasts, where the pipelines or passages that discharge the sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. Cysts are usually colored skin or peaceYellow and diameter less than 1.18 inches (about 3 cm), but sometimes it can develop larger. Individual cyst can be firm or slightly soft to the touch and there is a creamy yellow fabric inside.
In the absence of complications of the cysts, no symptoms cause, but sometimes the multiplex steatocystom can be complicated by infection, causing a discharge that smells. The cyst can burst, inflate and create drainage channels, leading to scarring. Although complications occur, because every growth is a benign cyst, which means that it is not cancer, the view for someone with this disease is very good and the multiplex treatment of steatocystom focuses on reducing any inflammation or scarring that can be associated with the condition. Handing may include the use of drugs such as antibiotics, and individual cysts can be cut open and exhausted.
If drug treatment is not successful, surgery and mul control may be requiredTiplex steatocystom can be used a number of techniques. The discharge of the contents of the cyst using a syringe and needle can be beneficial for smaller cysts or those on the face. This method can reduce the risk of scar formation and cysts are often not repeated. Larger cysts can be completely removed by cutting the cyst wall and removing the content. Laser therapy where the light energy beam is used to evaporate tissue is another method that can successfully destroy cysts.
