Hi,
Sebaceous hyperplasia is a common, benign condition of sebaceous glands in adults.Lesions can be single or multiple and manifest as yellowish, soft, small papules.
The classic appearance of sebaceous hyperplasia on physical examination reveals whitish-yellow or skin-colored papules that are soft and vary in size from 2-9 mm. These papules have a central umbilication from which a very small globule of sebum can sometimes be expressed.
Oral isotretinoin has proven effective in clearing some lesions after 2-6 weeks of treatment, but lesions often recur upon discontinuation of therapy; maintenance doses of oral isotretinoin in the range of 10-40 mg every other day or 0.05% isotretinoin gel is rarely indicated as a suppressive treatment for widespread disfiguring sebaceous hyperplasia. Oral isotretinoin should be prescribed by a physician who is experienced in oral retinoid therapy and only for patients without contraindications.
Therapeutic options include photodynamic therapy (with combined use of 5-aminolevulinic acid and visible light), cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen), cauterization, laser treatment (eg, with argon, carbon dioxide, or pulsed-dye laser) and excision. Complications of these nonspecific destructive therapies include scarring or transient dyspigmentation.
