sebaceous hyperplasia

[Guest guest]

a,

A few months ago I met a friend who I had not seen for several

years.She brought her Mother whom I had never met before. She was a spry

and wonderful 90 yr old. We were discussing our health and the mother

said she really was doing good bu hated the way she looked . Her

forehead was covered with eraser sized hard yellow bumps. She told me

she had untreated cea for years. Her Dr. said years ago nothing

could be done and in those years probably there was not treatment.I

feel this is Sebaceous Hyperplasia that we are finding out about today.

I have 3 fairly small bumps now and all this sticks in my mind and soon

will have it looked at.

But, am reading Dr. Weil's pocket book, Spontaneous Healing.

On page 59, he tells of Bloodroot that has a peculiar ability to

dissolve abnormal growths on the skin without harming normal tissue

thought the skin.

Has anyone ever heard of Bloodroot.ever used it or seen any

other information about removing these bumps?

Hazel, would you know about this?

Just wondering? a, if you could read this, let me know what you

think about it?

Interesting. I also have these bumps on my forehead. I had laser done this

summer and I didn't feel it did any good. When I went back to my derm 10

wks later for evaluation of the laser treatment I mentioned the info I had

from this group about the raised areas. He poo-pooed the idea it had

anything do to with rosacea.

I'm going to another derm mar 1 and will question him. If I get any

different info will report.

Thanks,

Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Someone mentioned sebaceous hyperplasia as a common condition accompanying

rosacea

in a recent post. I have about 5 of these yellowish glands that have risen

to the

surface of my forehead. They are not raised and not very noticeable (except

to

me). However, it is rather alarming that all have occurred in the past

couple

months. Has anyone had success treating these, and if so how? Research on

the

web indicates it takes about 3 laser treatments to eliminate the sebaceous

hyperplasia. Has anyone used a one-time treatment method that worked?

Thanks,

a
