Removal of atheromas or lipomas is a minimally invasive procedure. Small-sized cysts or lipomas may be excised under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. After the small wound has been secured with stitches and a dressing, the patient can go home. In very rare cases, it is necessary to use general anesthesia (large dimensions and difficult localization of the lesion, multiple lesions). After waking up from general anesthesia, the patient must remain in the hospital for at least one day for observation.

Surgical removal of the fibroma is associated with the disruption of the skin, so after the procedure, scar formation should be taken into account. However, it is very small and will remain less visible if it undergoes regular massage after removing the stitches.

For small, several-millimeter atoms, you can use an astringent compress made of horsetail leaf infusion. This will reduce the secretion of sebum and facilitate the absorption of the atheroma. However, if this does not help or the atheroma is more than 5 mm, a dermatologist or surgeon should be consulted. The doctor will evaluate the change - whether it is a benign nodule. When the atheroma is an aesthetic problem, it is surgically excised. The atheroma removal procedure is painless and safe, so you shouldn't be afraid of it.
