Nevus Sebaceus treatment in Mexico City

A sebaceous nevus is a benign skin lesion, usually present from birth or childhood, that appears mainly on the scalp or face. It typically looks like a yellowish or orange patch, without hair in the affected area.

Frequent features: a smooth or slightly rough surface, a color that may change with age, and absence of hair in the area when it is located on the scalp.

When to see a doctor? If the lesion changes in size, color, or texture, an evaluation is advisable to monitor how it develops.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist, and the pediatric dermatologist when it involves children, examines the lesion and provides guidance on monitoring it. Showing the nevus to one of these professionals makes it possible to clear up doubts with peace of mind.
