Wen or scientifically lipoma is a soft seal under the skin that forms on those parts of the body where there is skin fat. Wen under the skin do not degenerate into tumors and are a cosmetic problem. As a rule, the grease on the skin does not cause significant inconvenience - it does not cause pain and discomfort. Recognize the fatty is not difficult. It is a mobile ball under the skin, up to 1.5 cm in diameter. In rare cases, the adipose can reach large sizes - then it begins to press on the nerve endings and causes painful sensations. Most often, greens appear under the skin on the face and on the scalp.
The causes of the appearance of fatty glands under the skin
To date, physicians have not formulated clear reasons for the appearance of adipose tissue under the skin. In many cases, it is impossible to determine what caused the wen. Lipoma occurs due to thickening of adipose tissue. And this phenomenon, in turn, happens because of the following:
- clogging of the sebaceous gland. There are no scientific grounds for this change in the human body;
- contamination of the body with slags.
Treatment of adipose tissue under the skin
Weners are usually treated with folk remedies or surgically removed.
Folk treatment of adipose tissue under the skin is based on starvation, body cleansing and a healthy lifestyle. As a result of this, the grease dissolves and disappears. It is recommended to supplement body cleaning with special lotions:
- 100 grams of lard should be melt, add 3 tablespoons of the squeezed garlic juice, mix and rub the wen 2 times a day until it disappears completely;
- After a hot bath or a bath on a wen, you should apply a mixture of honey, sour cream and salt, which are mixed in the same proportions. After 20 minutes, the mixture should be washed off;
- chop the fresh leaf of a golden mustache, put the mixture on a wen and cover it with food film and cloth. Apply compress every day at night.
Experts recommend that when a wen on the skin of the face, head or other part of the body occurs, consult a doctor. Before you remove the adipose, you need to undergo a test. Typically, the examination consists of two procedures: a puncture of the wen (to determine the nature of its contents) and ultrasound. These procedures are necessary so that the doctor can make sure that the education under the skin is really a wen. After that, the wen under the skin is removed surgically.
The earlier you go to the doctor to remove the wen, the more likely that after the operation there will be no scar or scar. In some cases, the lipoma is formed again in the same place quite quickly after the operation. This is due to the fact that not all fat cells were removed during the operation. The duration of the procedure for removing the wen under the skin takes from one to two hours. A small size of a small fat is removed under local anesthesia, a large fatty - under the general. Do not pull with the removal of the grease in the following cases:
- Wen very rapidly growing;
- Wen appeared under the eye;
- Wen prevents the functioning of other organs.
If the adipose under the skin is small, the doctor can recommend a medication to the patient. Treatment, as a rule, takes from one to two months. After that the adipose tissue under the skin dissolves and disappears. The advantage of this treatment is the absence of scars, and the disadvantage is the duration.
Wen under the skin may appear even in a child. Specialists do not recommend the removal of adipose in children before reaching the age of five.
