How to squeeze out a wen on the face
The lipoma must be removed very carefully, as it may be located next to the nerve, and its removal can cause severe discomfort. After the procedure itself, a scar will remain at the site of the tumor.
- medical alcohol;
- a needle from a sterile syringe;
- cotton wool;
- fragrance-free wet wipes.
The skin should be wiped with alcohol. You need to make a puncture with a needle at the base of the cone. If necessary, you can make two holes. The contents of the tumor must be carefully squeezed out, being careful not to damage the capsule so that the fatty tissue is not distributed under the skin.
After the operation, the skin in the wound area should be re-disinfected.
Important! It is prohibited to perform a similar procedure on the eye, as there is a high risk of damage to the visual organ.
Diagnostics
A specialist can easily recognize superficial lipomas, but those located in internal organs are difficult to detect.
Lipoma is often confused with atheroma; only a doctor can distinguish between them. Atheroma is a cyst of the sebaceous gland of the skin; it occurs when its excretory duct is blocked. Inside the atheroma there are drops of fat; formations often become inflamed and fester.

Differences between atheroma and lipoma:
- Atheroma is located in the connective tissue section of the skin (dermis), while lipoma is a subcutaneous formation.
- Atheromas form only on the sebaceous glands, so they rarely occur on the legs, arms, and mammary glands.
- Atheroma is not a tumor.
To treat atheroma, the surgical method, laser photocoagulation, laser excision of the cyst shell, and laser evaporation of the cyst shell from the inside are used.
In addition to atheroma, lipoma should be distinguished from the following formations:
- Hygroma is an accumulation of fluid in the cavity of the periarticular bursa.
- Lymphadenitis is inflammation of the lymph nodes.
- A dermoid cyst is a benign formation caused by improper tissue fusion due to a malformation of the body during the prenatal stage.
- Malignant tumors.
To diagnose fatty tissues that are inaccessible to a doctor for palpation, radiography, ultrasound, and X-ray computed tomography are used. If a lipoma is suspected of being malignant, a puncture aspiration biopsy method is used, when a fragment of the wen is selected with a thin needle and examined under a microscope.
How to squeeze out a wen on the back and other areas of the body
The process of removing small tumors is no different from the method described above. If the lump is more than 5 mm in diameter, an incision is required to remove it, which should only be performed by a specialist.
If you cannot puncture and squeeze out the contents, you should contact a specialist for surgical intervention.
Questions from readers
Many people are just about to get rid of a fixed lipoma, or have already tried to do this and have certain questions.
I squeezed out a wen on my face, what should I do next?
If lipoma removal at home is successful, all that remains is to disinfect the wound opening and wait for healing. To prevent the development of infection, you can apply a compress with Ichthyol ointment or Levomekol to the damaged area at night.
The wen has burst, what should I do? How to squeeze out the root?
If the lipoma has burst, the first step is to remove the discharge with a swab soaked in alcohol. Squeezing out the remaining fatty tissue is strictly prohibited. After fluid ceases to be released from the neoplasm, a compress with Levomekol should be applied to it.
When you can’t squeeze out a wen yourself
Squeezing out a lipoma on your own is dangerous in itself, but there have been cases when touching the lipoma is prohibited.
It is prohibited to open the growth if there is:
- redness of the skin;
- swelling;
- soreness;
- rapid increase in size;
- increase in body temperature.
Despite the fact that wen spoil a person’s appearance, you should not remove them yourself, as complications can lead to serious consequences. The only acceptable method of removal is surgery under the supervision of a specialist.
A fatty tissue (lipoma) very often forms in the facial area and is a cosmetic defect. You need to know how to squeeze out a wen on your face and whether it can be done at home so as not to harm your own health.
Wen are neoplasms of subcutaneous fat. They do not cause harm or anxiety, but cause aesthetic discomfort, especially for women. A fatty subcutaneous tumor has unclear boundaries and “mobility”. It can form on any part of the body and eventually reach large sizes. Small white pimples with a capsule usually form in the face area, which are almost impossible to squeeze out.
What is the danger?
Atheroma refers to a benign tumor (not cancerous). However, if it is not removed in time, it can become a source of chronic infection. And this will certainly lead to complications. Even if there is no bacterial infection, atheroma can swell and become inflamed. One of the serious complications is rupture and subsequent infection. This danger leads to an abscess or cellulitis.
Inflammation of the formation is characterized by redness of the skin over the formation, enlargement, swelling, pain when touching the atheroma. A grayish substance with an unpleasant odor is often released. In these cases, you should immediately consult a doctor.

How to recognize a wen on the face
Wen around the eyes
Lipomas that appear on the face are divided into 2 types:
- Xanthelasmas are neoplasms that are larger in size, yellowish in color and soft to the touch. They are usually located on the eyelids. They tend to grow and connect with each other.
- Milia are small, single, white nodules. Usually appear on the cheekbones and wings of the nose.
Presumably, the appearance of lipomas can be provoked by diabetes mellitus, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidney diseases, failure to comply with hygiene rules, weakened immunity and metabolic disorders. The most common cause is improper skin care.
Fat deposits are formed during the process of blockage of the sebaceous gland. The sebum hardens and a lipoma appears.
Treatment of lipomas with cosmetics
Although wen is considered a non-dangerous neoplasm, treatment should be carried out under medical supervision.
If you contact a cosmetologist, he will tell you what to do. Initially, the cause of the formation is determined, then a cosmetic product is selected and appropriate treatment is prescribed. If health problems are excluded, the formation of lipomas is associated with improper facial skin care.
The cosmetologist will remove the tumors and recommend the correct selection of cosmetics according to your skin type.
To get rid of milia, you need a product that opens the pores and makes the skin on the wen thinner. In this case, peelings and scrubs containing fruit acid are suitable. A special ointment is selected.
Lipoma removal
Wen removal in a cosmetology salon
Is it possible to squeeze out wen? Before removing it, you need to make sure that the diagnosis is correct. Lipoma does not degenerate into cancer, but nevertheless, self-squeezing is not recommended. Very often women try to cope with this problem at home, which can have negative consequences. You need to follow certain recommendations in order to know how to squeeze out a wen correctly.
When starting to squeeze out this tumor, it is necessary to use antiseptic agents and maintain sterility.
In beauty salons or medical institutions, it is possible to remove lipomas using a laser or electrocoagulation, but this is not a cheap procedure.
It is not allowed to independently remove fatty deposits located in areas of sensitive skin - this is the area around the eyes, nasolabial triangle and armpit. The procedure will be accompanied by severe pain and it will most likely be impossible to get rid of the wen.
The difficulty of squeezing it out on your own is that a lipoma is not a simple pimple. A prerequisite is to remove the entire capsule with its contents without damaging it, and this can be a painful procedure and accompanied by bleeding.
Removing it yourself may leave an unsightly and uneven scar. There is a risk of infection of the wound, resulting in the formation of an abscess.
If the capsule in a lipoma is removed in a damaged form, then the contents may penetrate under the skin, which threatens relapse.
Removing milia at home is still possible, but under no circumstances should xanthelasmas be squeezed out, since they are located deep under the skin.
The wen is squeezed out independently like this:
- Hands and all instruments should be treated with a disinfectant.
- Wipe the location of the tumor with a cotton swab and alcohol.
- Using a sterile needle, carefully pierce the wen and be sure to squeeze it out along with the capsule.
- Squeezing out the lipoma is done not with fingers, but with sterile discs.
- After completing the procedure, treat the wound with a disinfectant and cover with a medical plaster.
How to get rid of lipoma
So, a lipoma appeared on my face. As a rule, this is no one’s fault, but the owner of such a dubious “decoration” is unlikely to be satisfied with such an explanation. Therefore, the thought arises: is it possible to pierce the wen yourself, without going to the doctor?
Can. But it’s still worth consulting with specialists, who will tell you how to pierce a wen at home without harming your health. Moreover, this advice is useful only to those who scrupulously adhere to all hygiene rules. The main one is sterility.
For the procedure, you will need a special surgical instrument that will help avoid unnecessary damage to the skin. If this is not the case, a thin needle will do. Sterilize it with alcohol. Very carefully, making sure to grab the base of the wen, make a puncture. Then you need to very carefully squeeze out its entire core. If you skillfully puncture and correctly squeeze out the wen, as described above, not only a white mass should come out, but also a capsule. Then there is no fear of re-formation of a lipoma in the same place.
But this option - self-medication by squeezing out the wen - is categorically rejected by all specialists without exception. Infection of the skin (especially thin skin on the face), formation of ugly scars, recurrence of lipoma - these are the most likely things that will happen if the wen is squeezed out on your own. And if a person is genetically predisposed to the appearance of lipomas, such an operation completely loses its meaning. It is necessary not to remove them, but to treat them and, above all, pay attention to prevention.
As already mentioned, the reasons for the appearance of wen are not fully understood, but the main ones are already known. At the first signs of strange changes on the skin, it is better not to self-medicate, but immediately, without delaying, consult a doctor.
Most people, wanting to get rid of a lipoma, try to squeeze it out. Often this ends in unpleasant consequences. Therefore, the question arises, how to squeeze out the wen correctly?
Folk remedies for getting rid of wen
There are a large number of folk recipes to combat lipomas.
For home treatment you can use:
- Garlic and lard. A mixture of garlic and lard is very effective. To do this, grind the ingredients in a meat grinder (50 g garlic and 100 g lard). Then put in a small container and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Cool. Apply a thin layer of the product to the wen, covering with cellophane with a band-aid. Continue applying until the lipoma disappears.
- Egg film, which is applied to the site of formation of the wen. The skin may turn red and peel, but later the lipoma disappears.
- The onions are applied in grated form, covering them with cotton wool and cellophane.
- You can use baked onions. It must be baked, then crushed. Mix with laundry soap. Apply to the wen 2-3 times a day.
- Using the Golden Mustache, apply compresses to the area where the wen forms. To do this, you need to take a leaf, grind it and make a compress. Keep for 10-12 hours. The course of treatment is 2 weeks.
- Chew the wheat grains in your mouth until a paste forms. Apply to the sore spot. The procedure must be carried out until the wen softens and the contents come out.
- Apply lamb fat, melted in a water bath, to the site of lipoma formation.
Any procedure on the facial area should be treated with caution, since not all formulations and preparations may be suitable for the skin, which can lead to discoloration, redness, dryness, swelling and even burns of the skin.
The real wen is removed on its own. will explain. If it is a wen, and not another type of accumulation of something white under the skin, then over time the wen ages, becomes a hard ball-grain, the skin becomes thinner in the place of the wen, and it itself falls out in the form of a yellowish ball, similar to the core of an abscess. The site of the prolapse heals instantly, there is no blood, no bruises, there are no traces of a wen. The maturation of the wen lasts from two to four months.
Everything else that sticks out white or hurts deep under the skin is not a wen, but an inflammatory process. There are different types of pimples, but all of them should be removed by removing the rod from under the skin, piercing this does not help, and cleanse the blood, otherwise instead of one pimple that looks like a wen, then 3 will appear, and then a focus of 20-30 such formations will form in one place. For example, cheek, forehead, chin. It is extremely difficult to remove lesions.
