Sebaceous hyperplasia is a skin disease that predominantly affects an individual’s face. The condition is characterized by the development of a few small growths that are usually yellow. The condition is not considered to have any medical effects nor is it contagious, but does considerably reduce the aesthetic appeal of an individual. The nodules and growths that occur are also a great source of embarrassment for most sufferers. While evidence suggests that the condition runs in families and can be handed down from one generation to another in the same blood line, the primary causes of the condition are still relatively unknown. The condition seems to be more predominant in men in their middle ages or slightly older years than compared to women or children. The nodules or growths are more commonly found in areas where several oil secretors are present - such as the nose, forehead, upper arms, vulval regions and around the teats.
In most cases, sufferers do feel the need or urgency to perform any kind of special treatment as the condition will normally subside on its own without any special care or attention. However, if choosing to look for treatment options, the best route would depend largely on the symptoms that accompany the condition. Certain gels or creams such as “tretinoin”, over the affected areas is one of the simplest methods of treating the condition and helps the pimples disappear rather quickly. Since the condition is very similar to acne, a number of people have had considerable success when using simple acne treatments to help keep the condition in check. You could do the same by applying some fresh mint juice over the affected areas every night on a regular basis. Another effective home remedy is to create a paste of turmeric powder and mint juice, keeping it o for 30 minutes and washing it off your face with some lukewarm water. Mixing some natural yogurt with fine oatmeal to create a thick paste and applying it over the affected areas will also show considerable results. After the paste has dried, wash it off with the help of some lukewarm water and allow it to pat dry. You could also create a paste by mixing some honey and cinnamon powder and applying it over the face before you go to sleep at night. Wash the face mask off the next day with the help of some lukewarm water for best results.
