Atheroma - retention (caused by delayed discharge) of the sebaceous gland cyst of the skin. It develops on the skin areas rich in the sebaceous glands (scalp, face) due to blockage of the excretory duct of the gland by the condensed discharge. Atheroma - round, smooth, painless formation of a testic consistency, often soldered to the surface of the skin, sometimes reaches a large size, which can cause a cosmetic defect. The contents of the atheroma are a white, gruel-like mass. Complication - suppuration of atheroma with the formation of subcutaneous abscess. In all cases, surgical intervention (removal of the cyst) is indicated, and with a suppurated atheroma, opening of the cavity and scraping of the contents.
