​Dermatology - Epidermoid Cyst

​Dermatology - Epidermoid Cyst 
There is a cystic enclosure of epithelium within the dermis, which results in the formation of epidermoid cysts. This becomes loaded with detritus that is rich in lipids and keratin, and it is frequently misidentified as pus. These are the most common kind of cutaneous cysts, and they normally appear on the face, neck, upper trunk, and scrotum of individuals who are between the ages of young and middle-aged.


The nodule, which is typically solitary but can be many, is a dermal-to-subcutaneous nodule that ranges in size from 0.5 to 5 centimeters and frequently connects with the surface through pores that are filled with keratin. The wall of the cyst is rather thin, and when it ruptures, the contents of the cyst that are irritating cause an inflammatory response. This causes the lesion to grow significantly and causes a considerable deal of discomfort during the process.

In clinical settings, a diagnosis is made.

Not a single therapy is necessary.
