What Is Sebaceous Hyperplasia — And How Easy Is It to Treat?

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a very common and harmless skin condition where the oil glands become enlarged, creating small yellowish bumps on the skin, often on the face. While completely benign, many people choose to treat them for cosmetic reasons.

Here’s the good news: treatment is quick, safe, and requires very little downtime. Modern techniques allow us to remove these bumps precisely with minimal discomfort.

Why treatment is so straightforward:

• ✨ Quick procedure – Often just a few minutes per lesion.

• 😊 Minimal discomfort – Local anaesthetic or gentle techniques keep it comfortable.

• ⏱️ Very short downtime – Usually a day or two of minor redness.

• 🌟 Great cosmetic results – Smooth, clearer skin once healed.

• 🔁 Low recurrence – Treated glands rarely grow back.

If the bumps are bothering you or affecting your confidence, treatment can make a real difference with very little interruption to your day.
