How are volcano-shaped bumps on the face (sebaceous hyperplasia) treated?
Doctor's answer
The doctor explains the small bumps that often appear in men from around their 40s and, up close, look like tiny volcano craters. They form when the opening of a sebaceous gland on the face gets blocked: sebum builds up inside and, with nowhere to go, pushes upward. For this kind of lesion the doctor uses Agnes; during the procedure a little of the trapped sebum is scraped out, and it is best to cover the area with a hydrocolloid dressing such as DuoDERM for about a week. Results vary by individual.
