Ed has 粉瘤 on his handsome face.

Submitted by annachung on Sat, 02/18/2012 - 16:38

It has been quite a shock when the Dr said he has 粉瘤 and said he will need an operation when he is 4-5 to cut it off. It sounds scary but after reading this, it seems to be ok. However, it is still worrying for him to have 粉瘤 in the age of 1. Worrying is the only word.

粉瘤

泌積聚而成一囊腫, 這是一種良性疾病, 雖然粉瘤可能慢慢脹大, 亦可能
穿破而流出皮脂分泌, 但絕不會惡化而變成癌症.治療方法就是用外科
手術割除粉瘤.
粉瘤的頂端會有一個小開口,病人可以自行摸到這個開口;用手擠它時,還可以擠出一堆白色、帶點酸臭的分泌物,而這分泌物即是乳化的角質皮膚,至於會發出臭味,原因就像很久沒有洗臉般生成的酸臭。如果不小心弄破了,就會讓真皮層出現發炎反應,包括出現膿包、紅腫、熱痛等感染症狀。
和一般青春痘不同的是,粉瘤即使過了好久,也無法自然改善,且多半發炎範圍還會變大。臨床上不少個案大到有如鵪鶉蛋般,又大、又腫,雖然不會痛,但畢竟有礙觀瞻;而且,一旦破掉,引發的疼痛、發炎、感染問題就不再是一個小問題了。
最近門診即有不少個案是因粉瘤不小心破掉而求助,病人好發部位以臉部及軀幹為主。這些病人的粉瘤破掉後有的出現發炎、膿血、有的已經出現嚴重潰爛、感染問題,有時候到院治療時,已到非得住院不可的地步。臨床上對這類病人的處理必須採取擴瘡手術,投予口服消炎藥、注射抗生素才能治癒,但也因此換來明顯疤痕;這些疤痕即是結締組織纖維化所產生的。
對於這種不斷可以擠出白色乳狀皮屑的大痘痘,建議最好還是找 皮膚科 醫師協助,雖然方法也是進行開刀手術,但若能愈早發現、愈早處理,患者的疤痕可以更小,且不容易復發。
表皮囊腫指的是一種皮膚深部囊狀的良性腫瘤。
因為腫瘤的囊中通常是包裹著許多乳白顏色的粉狀物質,故又以粉瘤稱之。
表皮囊腫通常是以一個半球狀的皮膚顏色突起來表現。患者通常是無意中摸到該處有一個稍具彈性的小腫瘤。仔細看該處的顏色會稍稍帶一點灰黃的顏色,中心點常常可以發現有一個小孔。有時候稍稍擠壓甚至可以從該小孔擠出上面提到的乳白顏色的粉狀物質。
目前對粉瘤的成因並沒有定論。也沒有人知道為什麼有的人會長一堆粉瘤。
因為粉瘤是一種良性腫瘤,所以一般小於5mm的粉瘤並不建議做任何的處置。
但是對於大於5mm的粉瘤,因為一方面影響外觀,一方面又常常有反覆感染發炎的機會, 通常 醫師會建議病人手術切除。
假如是長在臉部周圍我建議你去看整形外科,因為萬一需要割除整形外科的醫生刀工比較細
粉瘤形成的原因主要有二,一是皮囊皮脂的部分阻塞,由毛囊上皮形成,二是穿刺傷,使表皮的細胞掉入真皮層而形成。在發生率上是成人較多,而罕見於孩童。在治療上,手術切除是一勞永逸的方法,發炎的厲害的話會局部注射類固醇,若合併細菌感染則需抗生素治療。粉瘤若破掉引發發炎反應,白血球與吞噬細胞聚集過來,是有機會把粉瘤慢慢給〝吞掉〞但付出的代價可能是發炎的太厲害,造成附近組織傷害太大而留下疤痕、色素沈澱等,所以有粉瘤時,切忌自行擠壓,由 皮膚科 醫師來替您處理較佳
去政府醫院割粉瘤要付只是住院費, 但要先在門診醫生轉介, 再由專料醫生決定是否要割, 再依輕重排期,
私家醫生割粉瘤要視乎其大細, 輕重而收取適當的費用, 一般都要幾仟元.
當然專科而出名醫的又貴些; 主要是不用像政府醫院等排期.

FOUND THIS FOR YOU Daddy Patrick.

A sebaceous cyst is a small closed ‘sac’ or cyst below the surface of the skin. It is generally filled with a white, semi-solid material called Sebum. The content of a sebaceous cyst is often likened to cottage cheese and it can often have an unpleasant odour.

Sebaceous cysts can be found almost anywhere on the body, more commonly they are found on the scalp, ears, back, face and torso. They are not normally found on the hands or soles of the feet.

What is the cause?

A sebaceous cyst can be caused by a trauma to the skin, a swollen hair follicle or high levels of testosterone in the body. Hereditary factors may also contribute to this condition.

What are the symptoms?

Sebaceous cysts are round in shape, smooth to touch and can vary in size.

Sebaceous cysts should not be painful, however, if they become infected they can become red, inflamed and painful to touch.

Treatments

Sebaceous cysts do not go away by themselves and will only get bigger with time if left. Therefore, it is recommended that they are treated. The next page deals with the treatment options for sebaceous cysts.
