An epidermoid cyst (Epidermal Inclusion cyst, Infundibular cyst), is a benign growth commonly found in the skin and typically appears on the face, neck or trunk, but can occur anywhere on the body. Another name used is “sebacous cyst” but this is actually an antiquated misnomer, and is not a term used by dermatologists. They are also the most common type of cutaneous cysts. Epidermoid cysts result from the reproduction of epidermal cells within a confined space of the dermis. The pasty contents are mostly composed of macerated keratin (wet skin cells), which creates this “cheesy” consistency, and there can be a pungent odor. An epidermoid cyst may have no symptoms and are typically harmless. Usually people seek removal because they don’t like the appearance of these bumps, or the cyst has ruptured or been inflamed or “infected” in the past. Rupture is associated with sudden redness, pain, swelling, and local heat, and can lead to abscess formation. Also, a history of inflammation, often increases scar tissue in the area, makes the cyst more firmly adherent to surrounding skin, and makes it more difficult to remove. Surgical excision is curative, but the complete cyst removal including the entire cyst sac and contents need to be removed to ensure that the cyst won’t reoccur.

A lipoma is slow-growing, benign growth of fat cells. It is contained in a thin, fibrous capsule and found right under the skin. A lipoma is typically not tender and moves around easily with slight pressure. A lipoma is not cancerous and treatment generally is not necessary. There is also a condition called familial lipomatosus, where people develop multiple lipomas, especially on the arms and legs, and other family members have these growths as well. If the lipoma is on a pressure-bearing area, it may create discomfort and this is when people seek removal. People also request removal because they don’t like the appearance of these bumps. Often a small incision can be made over the lipoma and they can be “popped” out easily. This is a simple in-office surgical procedure under local anesthesia.

Actually, I don't know if I would call these lipomas, I think i would say this is fat deposition, extra adipose, and that he tends to get fat that accumulates, unfortunately on his mid back, which makes him look like he has "back boobs". And that's what he and his wife calls them, not ME. Adore him and his wife, and please stay tuned to see how he looks at the end!!

This particular pilar cyst excision will go down on My Favorites short list. This gentleman travelled from Hollywood to see me, and he was dressed to the nines, but very, very nervous. He admits he gets "white coat syndrome" and hates to see doctors. However, he saw me on The Doctors TV show, and he felt that I might be the one to remove this bump on his scalp. As you can see he is pretty nervous but my favorite part was seeing his face right after I removed this cyst. He was smiling to himself and I could tell that he still couldn't believe that he went through with the surgery. He actually only had an appointment scheduled for a consult, but I could sense that he really wanted this bump removed and would probably chicken out and never come back, so luckily I had time enough to do it right then and there! Also, there are parts of this video that are muted, in order to protect his privacy and the privacy of others. Interestingly, I used a "suspension suture" to help me to extract this pilar cyst. The walls of a pilar cyst are usually very smooth, reminds me of an olive. I couldn't grasp the cyst with my forceps, so I decided to place a suture into it so I could pull it out. As you know, pilar cysts are benign growths that occur predominantly on the scalp, and usually have thicker walls than the more common epidermoid cysts. This makes them easier to pop out whole. This bump was very noticeable on his scalp so I think the removal will make him very happy, indeed. Thank you so much for watching. And I have the best patients in the world!!

This was my FIRST inflamed Pilar Cyst! I see epidermoid cysts that are inflamed or have become abscesses, but pilar cysts usually are on the scalp, and that skin is quite thick. Also the cyst wall is thicker than that of an epidermoid cyst. I think for these reasons, they are less likely to get irritated and inflamed. But this one did! An he has a popaholic coworker who tried to help him out. Warning: I don't recommend that you squeeze your own cyst at home, so I'm not endorsing this maneuver! A Pilar Cyst, aka a trichilemmal cyst, an isthmus-catagen cyst, or a “wen”, looks identical on examination to the more common epidermoid cyst, except that 90% of them occur on the scalp. They tend to be more mobile and firmer than epidermoid cysts, and are derived from a different part of the hair follicle/skin. The internal content tend to be more “homogenous”/ smooth (looks different under the microscope), but it is also a benign growth. It is not uncommon to have multiple pilar cysts on the scalp and to have other family members to have these cysts (tend to run in families). Treatment is for cosmetic reasons usually (people don’t like the appearance of them), and excision with removal of the cyst and it’s contents is curative.

If you watch and love Momma Squishy, watch the entire playlist! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJZ_ok3xiAi_9pKa9RXNeBkbJCNJZKsuK Steatocystoma Multiplex appear as multiple, uniform, yellow, cystic papules usually 2-6 mm diameter, located especially on upper anterior trunk, upper arms, axillae, and thighs. Typically no central punctum or umbilication is seen. Majority of cases present with dermal lesions, but multiple subcutaneous masses looking like multiple lipomas can be present. Bumps usually appear in adolescence or early adulthood, probably because sebaceous activity is at its peak. Sometimes larger steatocystomas are prone to rupture and suppuration and can cause scarring and pain. Steatocytomas typically contain a syrup-like, yellowish , odorless, oily material. If they are inflamed or infected by bacteria, they can develop a foul odor and can be a definite source of social isolation. This is probably the closest thing to a “sebaceous cyst”, a name that many people including non dermatologist physicians may use to describe an epidermoid cyst which we see more commonly. Steatocystoma may at times have vellus hairs, and eruptive vellus hair cysts may have sebaceous glands (oil glands) in their lining, which leads some dermatologists to believe these two conditions may lie along a continuum, that they may be related. Treatment is removal with small incisions and extraction, with care on treatment on the trunk because of the increased chance of poor cosmetic result/scarring.

A Dilated Pore of Winer is essentially a giant blackhead. A blackhead is also called an open comedo (single for comedone), and it is a clogged pore in the skin that is open to the air. Keratin (skin protein) and sebum (oil) combine to block the pore. They are often found on the face and trunk. but they can be found anywhere on the body. Blackheads are not clogged with dirt, but it is the exposure to air that causes oxidation turning the internal contents black. They can be extracted using a comedone extractor. I usually use an 11 blade (a blade that comes to a sharp point) and a Shaumberg type comedone extractor.
