Imagine. One morning, you wake up, and you have the impression that a strange mass has formed in your body. It bothers you, disturbs you, obsesses you ... and you do not know what it's all about.
If some make the decision not to worry too much, others run to the doctor to find out what this kind of size can hide ...
And if Sandra Lee is one of the most famous and famous dermatologists in the United States, it's certainly not for nothing. Considered as the best dermatologist in the country, it is customary to welcome many people, including celebrities!
A strange size above the lip
One day, a woman comes to Dr. Sandra Lee's office in Upland, California. If at first it seems to be beautiful, it hides something very strange above his upper lip. Indeed, on closer examination, Sandra Lee realizes that the woman has a cyst the size of a small marble.
After much testing, the cyst is diagnosed as benign. If it is not necessary in these cases to carry out an operation (in the case of benign cysts in this case, that is to say, posing no risk to health), Sandra Lee still chose to remove him because it had bothered his patient for over a year ...
The process of the operation
In all, the operation lasted only 5 minutes. Sandra Lee begins by determining with a felt the area she will have to incise to get out the cyst. Once the area is determined, she makes the incision to try to remove the cyst. She makes a small pressure to try to extract the cyst.
Once the cyst is removed, it closes the wound by sewing.
How to treat a cyst?
A cyst is a lump appearing on the surface of the skin. Whether they are ovarian, sebaceous (that is, developing under the superficial layer of the skin), mucoid or even pilonidal (that is, developing from hair), most cysts are usually benign. There are, however, cysts with cancerous tumors.
If it is quite possible to perform an operation to get rid once and for all cysts (as was the case for this patient), it is quite possible to treat a cyst from home (from less for sebaceous cysts, that is to say, which develop at the level of the superficial layer of the skin).
To do this, you can use the so-called hot compresses method (by providing you with non-woven compresses that you find in a pharmacy, and that you heat with hot water and then apply it on the area of the body where you are the cyst for 15 minutes, and this three to four times a day until the cyst dries).
It is quite possible to use plants to treat a sebaceous cyst, and it is the aloe vera that seems to be the most appropriate thanks to its antibiotic, anti-inflammatory or healing properties. A simple gel application is enough (up to once or twice a day, until the cyst dries up).
A story that reminds us that it is imperative to pay attention to the appearance of unusual lumps in the body, but above all, that it is important to quickly consult a doctor in case of doubt.
