UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION

What is Sebaceous Hyperplasia?

Sebaceous hyperplasia refers to the enlargement of the skin's oil (sebaceous) glands, resulting in small, flesh-coloured or yellowish bumps with a characteristic central depression or pit. They most commonly appear on the forehead and cheeks.

Sebaceous hyperplasia is benign and not contagious. It is often confused with milia or early basal cell carcinoma, which is why a consultation and proper assessment is important before any treatment is undertaken.

what causes sebaceous hyperplasia?

Sebaceous hyperplasia develops when the skin's oil glands enlarge and begin to overproduce. It is more common in adults with oilier skin types and increases in prevalence with age. Immunosuppressant medications such as cyclosporin have been associated with significant sebaceous hyperplasia.

1

Ageing

Sebaceous glands enlarge progressively with age in some individuals, particularly those with oilier skin types

2

Oily Skin Type

Higher sebum production increases the risk of sebaceous gland enlargement over time

3

Immunosuppressant Medications

Cyclosporin and similar medications are associated with significant sebaceous hyperplasia development

4

Genetics

A familial pattern suggests a genetic component to sebaceous hyperplasia susceptibility in affected individuals
