Sebaceous Adenoma

A sebaceous adenoma is a benign and uncommon tumor that originates in the sebaceous glands of the skin, forming a small lesion or lump, usually on the face.

How it usually looks: It appears as a skin-colored or yellowish bump, slow-growing and usually without discomfort.

Why evaluate it: Although it is benign, it is worth reviewing to distinguish it from other skin lesions and, in some cases, to consider its relationship with other conditions.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the appropriate professional to examine this type of skin lesion and determine its nature. If a new or changing lump appears, a professional review makes it possible to clarify what it is.
