What is squeezed out of fat particles?

Sebaceous cysts are similar in appearance to stones and are miliary papules caused by the deposition of amyloid protein in the dermal papillae. They are yellow-white in color, about the size of a needle tip or a millet grain, and small white lumps can be seen when pricked with a needle. Most of the time, there are very tiny wounds on the skin that are invisible to the naked eye, and small white cysts are produced during the skin's self-repair process.

The difference between sebaceous granules and syringomas

1. Different causes

(1) Fat particles

Sebaceous granules are generally excessive keratinization of the skin at the opening of the sweat glands. They may be caused by tiny wounds on the skin, and then small white cysts are generated during the self-repair process. It may also be because the local sebum is covered by the outer layer of keratin, resulting in the inability to be discharged to the epidermis normally, thus accumulating in the skin to form white particles. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fat granules are a type of phlegm and dampness, and the growth of fat granules is also a sign of a weak spleen. When the spleen is weak, fat is difficult to be metabolized, leading to the formation of fat granules.

(2) Syringoma

Syringoma is a nevus-like tumor. Some have a family history and may be related to genetics. It may also be caused by a weak individual constitution and endocrine disorders. It may also be caused by aging, lack of exercise, staying up late, excessive use of skin care products and cosmetics, etc., which cause pores to be blocked, cell metabolism to be slow, fat metabolism to be impaired, and the liver to be unable to excrete toxins in time. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly caused by the skin pores being not dense, wind-heat toxins invading the skin, or the human body's liver being weak and blood being dry, tendons being not nourished, and qi stagnation in the skin.

3. Different symptoms

(1) Fat particles

Sebaceous granules are small white or beige granules that grow on the skin. They are about the size of a needle tip and look like small white sesame seeds. They have no subjective symptoms such as pain or itching.

4. Different treatment methods

(1) Fat particles

There is no special treatment for fat cysts in Western medicine, and there is no need for treatment, unless the individual believes that it affects his or her appearance and can be removed through laser, surgery, etc., in which case treatment is generally not required. Traditional Chinese medicine can treat fat particles by regulating the physical constitution of spleen deficiency, phlegm and dampness, focusing on strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, resolving phlegm and removing phlegm, and can be used in combination with medication under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine doctor.

(2) Syringoma

Syringoma generally does not require treatment. If treatment is required due to reasons such as affecting appearance, surgical resection, electrolysis, laser treatment, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, etc. can be chosen for removal. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment needs to be based on the syndrome differentiation and judgment of a professional Chinese medicine doctor, and then mainly focuses on dispelling wind and heat or nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and is combined with corresponding Chinese medicine for conditioning treatment.

5. Is there a genetic difference?

(1) Fat particles

Fat cysts are not hereditary, they are just excessive keratinization of local skin and will not affect genes, so they are not hereditary. Syringoma However, syringoma is somewhat hereditary and may be passed on to the next generation. If you do not want to pass it on to your offspring, you can choose to treat it as soon as possible and regulate your body.

(2) Syringoma

It is a raised plaque, round, oval or irregular in shape, with a smooth surface or greasy substance, clear boundaries, most of which are dense and not fused. It is generally skin color, light yellow or brownish yellow, and usually has no subjective symptoms. Those occurring on the vulva may cause severe itching.

6. Different predisposing sites and populations

(1) Fat particles

Fat particles usually occur on the face, especially around the eyes of women, and can also appear on the knees and other parts of the body.

(2) Syringoma

Syringomas are common on the lower eyelids and cheeks, and are also common on the sides of the neck and chest. They can also be seen on the waist, back, limbs and genitals. It is more common in young women, but can occur at any age.
