Fordyce granules and their manifestation when filling the lips

Each organism has its own characteristics, and even the most harmless interference can manifest them. One of these manifestations is Fordyce granules and often patients learn about them only after the procedure.

History

The patient applied for lip augmentation. This was her second procedure. The previous one was held three months ago by another specialist and, according to the girl, did not lead to the expected result.

Lip augmentation was performed with hyaluronic acid and was completed without complications.

Additional Therapy

To reduce swelling and prevent the appearance of hematomas, the homeopathic preparation Arnica 15 hours was prescribed, 5 granules 4 times a day, several days before and after the procedure.

Complaints

10 days after the modeling, the patient complained of “yellowish dots in the area of ​​the upper lip”.

Since telephone counseling is not acceptable, the patient was asked to appear for an appointment. The girl ignored the advice and decided to go to a dermatologist right away.

Dermatologist consultation. Diagnosis

Dermatologist diagnosed “allergic reaction to filler” and treatment was prescribed in the form of surgical removal of papules “one by one”.

It is important to know what an allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid manifests on the first day after the administration of the drug. She appears:

• inflammation
• severe edema
• redness
• increase in temperature in the area of ​​injection and/or the whole body

Diagnosis by an esthetician

In fact, the patient's complaint is related to the physiological state of her lips. The girl has such a skin defect as Fordyce granules. After the introduction of the filler into the lips, the features (granules) that were previously insignificant also increased.

Fordyce granules are painless skin formations, seborrheic cysts, which are small papules with white-yellow contents of a dense consistency.

Such a feature of the skin does not bring any harm to health and is only a cosmetic defect.

There is no specific treatment. Therapeutic treatment does not bring the expected result. They offer cryotherapy, electrocoagulation and laser therapy.

There is no prevention, because seborrheic cysts are not considered a disease, but are a variant of the norm.
