Lip and vulvar cysts

¿Qué son los quistes sebáceos en labios vaginales?

Los quistes sebáceos, también conocidos como quistes epidermoides, son tumores benignos que se forman cuando la queratina bloquea el orificio por donde sale el sebo producido por la glándula sebácea. Estos quistes suelen ser de color blanco amarillento y pueden desarrollarse en áreas donde hay pelo, como los labios mayores de la vulva.

Causas de los quistes sebáceos en genitales femeninos

Los quistes sebáceos en los labios vaginales pueden ser causados por varios factores, como un trauma en la piel, altos niveles de hormonas o una predisposición genética. Comprender estas causas puede ayudar a prevenir su aparición y manejar mejor su tratamiento.

¿Es necesario extirpar los quistes sebáceos en los genitales femeninos?

En la mayoría de los casos, los quistes sebáceos en los labios vaginales no suelen generar dolor ni afectar las relaciones sexuales o la fertilidad. Dado que son tumores benignos, no se convierten en cáncer. Sin embargo, pueden infectarse, lo que provoca la aparición de un pequeño grano de pus. Aunque generalmente son asintomáticos y no requieren tratamiento, puede ser necesario extirparlos si son muy visibles, supuran mucho, causan fiebre o por razones estéticas.

Tratamientos disponibles

Los quistes sebáceos no pueden eliminarse con pomadas ni pastillas. La única opción efectiva es la extirpación quirúrgica, un procedimiento sencillo que se realiza con anestesia local y sin necesidad de hospitalización. Esta intervención provoca molestias leves y deja una pequeña cicatriz, cuyo tamaño depende del tamaño del quiste.

¿Cómo saber si un quiste está infectado?

Un quiste infectado puede presentar signos como enrojecimiento, dolor a la presión y calor al palparlo. En estos casos, se intenta inicialmente un tratamiento con antibióticos. Si no hay mejoría en 36-48 horas, se procede a su drenaje mediante una incisión con anestesia local y evacuación del contenido infectado.

Elimination of sebaceous cysts on genitals without surgery

En nuestros Centros Médicos, ofrecemos un tratamiento innovador para eliminar quistes epidérmicos utilizando el Láser de Erbium (Lotus II) o el Láser de Dióxido de Carbono (Firexel-Morexel). El Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra ha desarrollado una técnica avanzada que elimina estos quistes de forma definitiva mediante una incisión láser, permitiendo drenar el contenido y quitar la cápsula. Este procedimiento es indoloro, ambulatorio, efectivo y no deja cicatrices.

Procedimiento con Láser Lotus II

El Láser Lotus II permite realizar el procedimiento sin necesidad de anestesia, ya que su alta velocidad de impacto no genera dolor. Consiste en hacer un pequeño orificio en la pared del quiste para drenar todo su contenido y extraer la cápsula. La piel donde estaba el quiste se contrae, similar a un rejuvenecimiento facial no quirúrgico con láser. Este procedimiento no deja cicatrices y el paciente puede retomar sus actividades de inmediato.

In older children, adolescents and adults they usually persist and are often unsightly.

Morphea

 

La esclerodermia es una enfermedad autoinmune de etiología desconocida, más frecuente en mujeres.

El término Esclerodermia significa esclerosis o endurecimiento de la piel. La afección puede ser localizada o sistémica.

Tipos de Morfea

La esclerodermia localizada también llamada Morfea puede tener distintas formas, por ejemplo:

  • Gotas: lesiones pequeñas, superficiales, con muy poca induración y bordes bien definidos.
  • Placas: lesiones de extensión diversa, induradas, de color violáceo.
  • Linear: bandas localizadas sobre todo en los miembros y la cara. La piel se ve indurada y deprimida.

La morfea al involucionar puede sufrir cambios de color, ya sea hiperpigmentaciones o hipopigmentaciones, también se observan lesiones vasculares.

La Morfea suele afectar los tejidos profundos generando depresiones antiestéticas.

Durante años el Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra ha trabajado tanto en actividad hospitalaria como en Hoogstra Centros Médicos tratando esta enfermedad y las secuelas estéticas que produce.

Hoy en día contamos con tecnología láser que nos permite mejorar nuestros resultados y ayudan al paciente a verse y sentirse mejor.

Spots on the lips

Clinical picture

Dark spots on the lips are often benign, occur more frequently in white-skinned patients, are generally single lesions on the lower lip, and are caused by sun exposure.

Treatment

The most effective and least traumatic treatment is the 1064-532 Helios ND Yag Laser.
Although lip melanoma is rare, this type of lesion should be ruled out before treatment.
Other common injuries to the lips are vascular injuries, caused by trauma to the lower lip with the teeth. Sometimes they are accidental and other times they are caused by the patient's habit of biting his lower lip.

Racial pigmentation, a dark line that extends on the mucosa of the lower and upper lip in dark-skinned patients, is also a frequent reason for consultation and disappears or fades after a couple of sessions with Helios laser modality 1,064.

Other pigmented lesions of the lips

  • If the pigmentation occurs on both lips, is diffuse and the patient is young, racial pigmentation or Peutz Jegher syndrome should be considered.
  • If the pigmentation occurs on both lips, is diffuse and the patient is an adult, Adison's disease, heavy metals or Kaposi's disease should be considered. They can also be produced by a local inflammatory process, in smokers or by certain drugs.
  • If the lesion is local, red or blue, we must think of a hemangioma. solar lentigo or pigmented nevus.
  • If the lesion is locally blue or gray in color, a blue nevus should be considered.

These lesions should be evaluated by dermatologists.
Our team of dermatologists is trained to make an adequate diagnosis and treatment of each of these pathologies.
