In SKIN INJURIES, Sebaceous Cysts, Treatments, Skin Tumors

Sebaceous cysts

Sebaceous cysts often originate from inflammation of the hair follicles.

¿Qué son los Quistes Sebáceos?

Los quistes sebáceos son bultos benignos que se forman bajo la piel debido a la obstrucción y la inflamación de los folículos pilosos. Aunque generalmente no son peligrosos, pueden causar molestias estéticas y, en algunos casos, llegar a infectarse.

Cuadro Clínico de los Quistes Sebáceos

Los quistes sebáceos suelen localizarse en áreas como la cara, el cuello y el tronco. Sus características clínicas más comunes son:

  • Movilidad: Se mueven libremente bajo la piel.
  • Crecimiento: Crecen lentamente con el tiempo.
  • Pain: No suelen causar dolor a menos que se infecten.

Cuando un quiste sebáceo se infecta, puede presentar los siguientes signos y síntomas:

  • Enrojecimiento de la piel: La piel alrededor del quiste puede ponerse roja.
  • Pain: Puede haber dolor en la zona afectada.
  • Aumento de la temperatura local: La piel sobre el quiste puede sentirse más caliente al tacto.
  • Drenaje: Se puede observar la salida de un material blanco grisáceo y caseoso.

Treatment of Sebaceous Cysts with Laser

El tratamiento convencional para los quistes sebáceos ha sido la resección quirúrgica, que implica la eliminación del quiste junto con la piel circundante. Sin embargo, en Hoogstra Centros Médicos ofrecemos una alternativa innovadora y menos invasiva: el tratamiento con láser.

Ventajas del Tratamiento Láser

  • Menos Invasivo: No requiere cirugía extensa.
  • Sin Anestesia: Gracias a la alta velocidad de impacto del láser Lotus III, no es necesario aplicar anestesia local ni cremas anestésicas.
  • Procedimiento Rápido y Eficaz: Se realiza un pequeño orificio en la parte más protuberante del quiste para su drenaje, seguido de la aplicación del láser en modalidad pulso largo para contraer las paredes del saco del quiste.
  • Recuperación Inmediata: El paciente puede continuar con sus actividades cotidianas inmediatamente después del procedimiento.
  • Indoloro y Sin Cicatrices: Este tratamiento es completamente indoloro y no deja cicatrices visibles.

En Hoogstra Centros Médicos, nos enorgullecemos de utilizar tecnología avanzada para ofrecer a nuestros pacientes tratamientos efectivos y mínimamente invasivos para quistes sebáceos y forúnculos.

In SKIN INJURIES, Skin Tumors, Xanthelasma

Xanthelasma

What is a xanthelasma?

An eyelid xanthelasma is a benign tumor or a deposit of fat and cholesterol, better known as cholesterol stress. It usually manifests around the eyelid near the internal (nasal) canthus. A yellowish looking plate and it usually appears on the upper and lower eyelids of both eyes.

Causes

This condition usually has an important genetic predisposition, although it is also true that it can manifest spontaneously in patients with lipid and cholesterol metabolism disorders. It is more common in adults and the elderly.

In summary, the most common causes are:

  • Hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and biliary cirrhosis.
  • Emotional: it has been suggested that they can appear when the patient has been under strong emotional stress.
  • On many occasions, the cause is unknown.

Xanthelasmas do not pose any health problem but they do have an aesthetic problem

Xanthelasma treatment

There are multiple forms of treatment. Surgery is generally the most common. However the Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra uses different types of lasers that avoid conventional surgery and promote recovery.

One of them is CO2 laser. This laser only works in the areas where it impacts and fully respects the surrounding tissues. This technology allows programming the depth at which the treatment reaches. This is why the CO2 laser is a device of high precision.

The treatment forms a small skin wound where the laser works, which will later heal with a scab that will come off after a couple of days. As the adjustable parameters allow to program in detail the part of skin that we want to remove, the number of sessions required to treat xanthelasma is usually reduced.

Tyson's glands - pearly penile papules

The tyson's glands They are a type of penile structures that are present in all men, in the region around the glans. They are shiny, transparent colored bumps, located in the head of the glans crown-shaped. They are physiological and harmless.

Are pearly papules contagious?

Pearl papules, caused by the presence of Tyson's glands, they are not contagious and, therefore, they are also not considered a sexually transmitted disease.

Often times, these lesions can be mistaken for genital warts caused by the HPV virus, so the only way to confirm the diagnosis is to see a urologist.

What problems do they generate?

In most cases, Tyson's glands do not need treatment, as they are benign and do not cause health problems. However, in some men can cause a great alteration of the image of the penis, which ends up making their relationships difficult.

Tyson's Gland Removal

Its removal is done only for cosmetic purposes or because it rubs. The most effective, painless and quick way to treat them is with the Erbium Lotus laser.
