Sebaceous hyperplasia is a skin condition that occurs when the sebaceous glands (oil glands) produce too much oil, which may get trapped under the skin resulting in bumps. It becomes more common with older age.
Lumps under the skin
Red or yellow skin lumps
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose sebaceous hyperplasia
Do you feel a lump/lumps under your skin?
Do you have yellow or red lumps/bumps on your skin?
There are several treatment options to remove sebaceous hyperplasia bumps. Cryotherapy is a common treatment option where the doctor freezes the bumps, causing them to dry up, fall and heal.
