Atheromas, also known as sebaceous cysts or epidermoid cysts, are benign (non-cancerous) lumps or growths that develop within the skin, typically caused by the accumulation of sebum (an oily substance produced by sebaceous glands). These cysts are generally slow-growing and can be found in various parts of the body, most commonly on the face, neck, and back.
Atheromas are benign, slow-growing cysts caused by blocked sebaceous glands. They are usually painless and not dangerous, but they can become infected or enlarged. Treatment options include drainage, surgical removal, and antibiotics if the cyst becomes infected. Good skin hygiene and management of skin conditions like acne can help prevent their formation. If you have an atheroma that becomes painful, infected, or cosmetically concerning, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for advice and treatment.
