What are these little bumps? How do I get rid of them? Can I prevent them?
They may be Sebaceous Hyperplasia - enlarged oil glands that appear as small, flesh-coloured or yellowish bumps, usually on the face.
They're benign, but they can be treated if you don't like their appearance.
At Queensland Skin and Laser, our doctor first confirms the diagnosis, then treatment may include electrocautery or CO2 laser treatment, depending on the individual lesions and your skin.
New lesions can develop over time, so treatment doesn't prevent them from returning elsewhere.
Have bumps you're unsure about? Book a consultation with our doctor.
