Small white rash on lips treatment

Etiology

According to popular belief, white balls formed under the skin of the lips indicate serious internal pathologies, helminthiasis or an imbalance of metabolic processes in the body. But in most cases, the source of the problem is much less global.

The mechanism for determining the reasons for the formation of white dots in the lip area is based on an analysis of the external characteristics of the elements of the rash (size, shape, etc.) and their location (inside the lips, on their outer surface, on the mucous membrane, in the corners).

Fordyce granules

Most often, white dots or spots under the skin of the lips are a symptom of Fordyce disease. In this case, the elements of the rash are microcysts of the sebaceous glands, formed as a result of their abnormal displacement to the upper layers of the skin, increased production of sebaceous secretions and subsequent accumulation and clogging the lumen of the gland duct.

Modern medicine does not provide an unambiguous explanation for the reasons for the appearance of Fordyce granules, as such formations are called, but it identifies the following factors that contribute to their occurrence:

physiological features (abnormal location or displacement of the sebaceous glands to the upper layer of the epidermis);
hormonal instability during pregnancy or puberty;
hyperplasia of the sebaceous ducts (narrowing of the lumen of the duct, causing its blockage and accumulation of sebum).

Fordyce granules are usually localized in the corners or on the surface of the lips (in men they are also observed in the area of the glans penis), their appearance is not accompanied by subjective sensations of burning, pain, itching, etc. Since these formations are not contagious, do not grow, do not cause discomfort and do not increase in size, radical therapeutic measures are not taken to eliminate them. Usually the granules disappear on their own, leaving no defects on the skin or mucous membranes.

Internal pathologies of various natures

In rare cases, the following diseases cause the formation of white spots on the lips under the skin:

candidiasis of the oral cavity (in addition to the appearance of whitish spots on the mucous membrane, patients also experience noticeable discomfort when eating, soreness of the mucous membrane and a characteristic cheesy coating in the oral cavity);
herpetic viral infection (itchy white granules are usually localized along the red border of the lips and are highly contagious);
atheroma (internal benign atheromatous formations can form when the excretory ducts of the sebaceous glands are blocked);
liver or adrenal dysfunction;
disruption of the digestive system (white spots in this case are one of the ways to remove toxins from the body);
avitaminosis;
retention cyst (a neoplasm is formed due to a violation of the outflow of sebaceous secretions);
lipoma (white subcutaneous fats usually gradually increase in size and interfere with the normal nutrition of neighboring tissues).

All of these diseases are accompanied by accompanying symptoms such as itching, swelling and redness.

What kind of disease

Atheroma is a benign formation, often with a genetic predisposition. An epidermal cyst looks like a thickening of the skin.

It consists of sebum and dead cells. Inside there is a white-yellow liquid with an unpleasant odor.

It is formed due to blockage of the sebaceous duct, then the discharge from it begins to accumulate under the skin and mixes with keratin. Atheroma can grow to large sizes if no measures are taken to eliminate it.

The tumor can be large or small, grow quickly or not change in size. Sometimes it can open on its own, then the liquid contained in it will flow out.

In such cases, it is important to prevent infection from entering the middle of the capsule, which can lead to infection. That's why it's so important to see a doctor.

Features of therapy

When Fordyce granules are identified, no specific treatment is usually prescribed, but if their accumulation is large enough, the most effective method for getting rid of white spots in each individual case can be prescribed:

a course of physiotherapeutic procedures (for example, Darsonval currents);
hardware procedures (electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, laser correction);
cosmetic procedures (application of jojoba oil, retinol, etc.)
radical method of surgical excision.

Often, women, having noticed white dots under the skin on their upper lip, mask the unpleasant defect with permanent makeup, but this method of getting rid of the problem can only aggravate the situation, provoking the risk of infection. For the same reason, and also in order to prevent scarring of the affected tissues, it is not recommended to try to squeeze out, cut off, or cauterize dots or spots yourself.

If the cause of the appearance of subcutaneous neoplasms is internal pathologies, treatment should be prescribed and strictly monitored by a doctor, since the elements of the rash in this case act not only as an unpleasant cosmetic defect, but also as a symptom of a dangerous disease.

Some people develop white dots of varying sizes, spots and blisters under the skin on their upper and lower lips. Sometimes they indicate a temporary malfunction in the body and quickly disappear, but sometimes they are a sign of a serious illness . Depending on the external characteristics of education and internal sensations, you can independently identify the problem and assess the degree of its seriousness.

Diagnosis and treatment

To make an accurate diagnosis, a dermatologist needs only an external examination of the affected area. Although Fordyce granules are not a contagious disease and do not pose a danger to human health, it is still worth contacting a specialist to differentiate the disease. Sometimes rashes are mistaken for manifestations of more dangerous skin ailments:

molluscum contagiosum;
focal eczema;
neurodermatitis;
lichen planus.

If the doctor rejects all suspicions and the rash turns out to be Fox Fordyce granules, then there is no need to treat them.

The effectiveness of all methods for removing Fordyce granules is questionable, since recurrence of tumors in the same place is often observed after a short period of time.

To get rid of granules on the lips, use the following options:

To disguise whitish spots along the edges of the lips, they resort to permanent tattooing.
To treat rashes, pharmaceutical preparations “Retinol A” or “Differin” are used. Both drugs are intended for topical use. The composition of the creams is aimed at renewing the epidermis layer and regenerating metabolism in skin cells. Exfoliation of dead cells provokes the exposure of clogged sebaceous glands and the release of secretions to the outside.
Darsonval for facial skin is exposure to high-frequency current pulses. The technique serves to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and even helps get rid of acne.
Cryotherapy is characterized by the treatment of neoplasms with liquid nitrogen. The method is used to get rid of many skin formations, in particular warts, papillomas, and condylomas. After exposing the papule to a low temperature (liquid nitrogen can reach -195 o Celsius), the neoplasm cells are destroyed and die. Small wounds covered with a crust remain at the site of the procedure. After the scabs spontaneously fall off, healthy, young skin remains.
Laser removal is considered an expensive method, but the most effective in the fight against benign tumors on the skin and mucous membranes.

Many people try to get rid of papules by trying to squeeze them out. This action is not safe: in addition to the possible formation of micro hematomas on the lips due to the tenderness and sensitivity of the tissues, there is a possibility of infection and the appearance of an inflammatory process at the site of the lesion.

Types of white spots on the lips and the reasons for their appearance

There are many reasons why white formations may appear on the lips. They can look like plaque, spots, balls, dots, specks, rashes, and be small or large in size. The most common causes of white rashes on the lips will be discussed separately, and below is an abbreviated list of diseases that manifest themselves in a similar way:

Photo: white dots on the lips - milia

Vitiligo. Loss of pigmentation associated with autoimmune problems. Appears as large white spots. They can be removed using aesthetic cosmetology methods.

Mucosal cyst. It appears in the form of moving blisters when biting the lower or upper lip or when there is excessive mucus production by the salivary glands. It often goes away on its own.
Contact allergy. Small dots appear, similar to small pimples. Treatment is carried out with antihistamines.
Fibroma. It looks like a white tubercle. It is removed through surgery.
Milia. The disease often appears in children as they grow up. The rashes look like white balls in the form of semolina.
Common acne. Appear singly or in the form of a rash.

To find out the reason why white spots appeared under the skin on the lips and determine ways to remove them, you need to contact a specialist. Due to the extensive list of possible causes and the similarity of symptoms, you can begin to treat the wrong disease, which is fraught with serious health consequences.

How to treat wen with folk remedies?

A scattering of small lipomas on the lip can be eliminated using alternative medicine methods. Such treatment can be lengthy and not always successful. You need to be patient to wait for the results of using folk remedies.

Herbal medicines for applications to the affected area of the skin or lips:

juice of fresh leaves of aloe, Kalanchoe or coltsfoot;
a mixture of crushed garlic and olive oil;
onions baked with honey in the oven;
olive oil with vitamin E.

Lotions with anti-inflammatory plant juice should be changed at least twice a day. It is recommended to apply the garlic-oil mixture to the wen up to 5 times a day. The juice from the baked onion is applied on a cotton swab every 4–5 hours.

Traditional medicine recommends treating “like with like.” You need to rub goose or lamb fat into the wen every day for half an hour. You can crush pieces of propolis and apply them to lipomas on the lips (secure with a band-aid).

Another popular alternative medicine - Altai mumiyo - is mixed with heated honey and applied warm to the wen. After 10 minutes, the product is washed off with water.

Healing clay is good for many ailments. Each variety differs in composition, but the common feature is the deep effect of the product on all layers of the skin. The clay is mixed with a small amount of water, spread on the lips and covered with a napkin soaked in warm water. The procedure is performed daily for 10 minutes.

Preventing the appearance of new wen and eliminating the cause of their formation is careful hygiene of the lips and oral cavity, taking vitamins, and a balanced diet. You may need to take immunostimulating drugs and adaptogens.

Manifestation of stomatitis on the lips

If a white spot forms on the inside of the lip, which quickly enlarges and turns into an ulcer, it means that the patient’s stomatitis is progressing. The same spot may appear on the inside of the cheek. The sores do not appear on the outside of the cheeks or on the outside of the lips and are not visible to another person, and they rarely appear in the corners of the lips.

The ulcer has a whitish color, is framed by a red border and is very painful when exposed to any irritant, especially sour and salty foods. Their number at one time is small, and the typical reasons for their appearance are the following factors:

deficiency of B vitamins and certain nutrients such as folic acid or zinc;

injury to soft tissues (physical, chemical or thermal) with pathogenic microorganisms entering the wound;

impaired immunity;

allergic reaction;

problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

Stomatitis, which manifests itself as medium or small white sores and dots on the lips, usually goes away on its own in 1–2 weeks. Rinsing the mouth with herbal decoctions helps reduce the healing period. In case of a prolonged course of the disease, the formation of large ulcers or a sharp increase in their number, you must consult a dentist. The doctor will prescribe the necessary mouthwash solutions and may also prescribe corticosteroid ointments.

How to remove from lips

The question of why lips turn white should be answered by a doctor after determining the prerequisites for this condition. You can get rid of the problem by eliminating its cause.

Herpes	For frequently recurring disease, antiviral therapy and drugs to prevent scars are prescribed.
Iron deficiency in the blood	Iron-containing preparations.
Stomatitis	Antifungal or antibacterial drugs, local treatment of wounds in the child’s mouth. Stomatitis can be cured within a week.
Digestive problems	Therapy aimed at correcting the digestive system will remove the prerequisites for rashes.
Parasitic infection	Antihelminthic drugs.
HPV	HPV vaccinations and antiviral therapy will remove symptoms.
Fordyce capsules	Physiotherapy: laser, darsonval, often after 30 years the disease goes away on its own.

Conditions that can cause blisters, blisters and other manifestations in the mouth area are corrected using traditional medicine, starting with decoctions of herbs and berries, ending with homemade ointments. Such treatment must complement the prescribed medication, has lower effectiveness and a high probability of allergies, in contrast to medications offered by pharmacies.

White spots on the lips due to human papillomavirus

To date, about 600 strains of human papillomavirus have been discovered. They have been known for quite some time and are the cause of the formation of warts. If white dots appear under the skin of the lips, which turn pink over time, then this is a sign of HPV.

At first, white dots on the lips are small, but then they can grow. They come in both flat and convex shapes - spike-shaped, dome-shaped or complex. Usually there are few of them, and a person does not experience pain or discomfort during the appearance and development of such structures.

HPV is a very dangerous disease (some strains are oncogenic), so people with symptoms of this disease should consult a doctor and undergo an appropriate test.

There is no radical therapy that can guarantee the removal of the virus. However, there are a number of measures based on the use of immunomodulators that increase the body’s ability to fight the disease. Spontaneous recovery is often observed when the immune system suppresses the virus so much that traces of its activity cannot be detected by known methods. If white dots on the lips are similar to manifestations of HPV, then it is better to consult a therapist, urologist or gynecologist.

White rashes on lips due to oral candidiasis

The common name for this disease is thrush. It manifests itself as a white rash on the lips, sometimes in their corners, inside the mouth, and can spread to the tonsils. There is a feeling of dehydration and mild pain when eating spicy and salty foods. Thrush is a fungal disease, the development of which is provoked by the following factors:

taking corticosteroids and antibiotics that reduce immunity;
damage to the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, upper or lower lip due to wearing dentures, excessive dryness or injury;
anemia, diabetes, pregnancy;
serious diseases: HIV, oncology.

The pathogen is present in the body of most people and can be transmitted sexually and during the birth of a child from his mother. If white spots characteristic of candidiasis appear on the lips and mucous membranes, but there are no manifestations in the genital area, then you should consult a therapist or gastroenterologist. Attempts to get rid of rashes will be ineffective if you do not get rid of the underlying disease.

Pathology of the sebaceous glands - Fordyce spots on the lips

If white, pale red or yellow spots with clearly defined boundaries appear on the outside of the lips, then this is a sign of Fordyce's disease. Fordyce granules look like individual white or yellow small specks or specks in the form of semolina, which are grouped into visible rashes - see photo. In most cases, they are localized in the area of the lip border, but can be located both outside and on the inside. Fordyce spots occur on the lips of both men and women, but their appearance is not classified as a disease.

The main cause of the appearance of Fordyce spots is considered to be a change in the location of the sebaceous glands on the lips. Normally they are located deep under the skin. When moving closer to the epidermis, the sebaceous glands secrete in large volumes, which is why formations visible to the eye appear.

This disease does not require treatment, since it usually does not bother a person in any way and does not lead to complications. If itching occurs, you can get rid of it with the help of antihistamines and soothing gels.

There are many reasons why white or light-colored dots, blisters, or entire areas of the lips appear in a rash. Often the cause of the rash can be identified independently. But if there is a possibility that the appearance of white formations is a sign of a serious illness, then you should immediately seek qualified help.

Often, pronounced white dots on the lips under the skin do not cause significant discomfort, although they significantly spoil a person’s appearance. However, if pain occurs, you should consult a specialist. Such cosmetic problems may signal the development of a viral or infectious process. Which doctor should I contact, and how to deal with the disorder?

Can they occur after lip augmentation?

In medical practice, I have encountered complaints from clients of beauty salons where lip augmentation surgery was performed with hyaluronic acid. The dissatisfaction consisted in the appearance, often on the upper lip, of “yellowish spots”, which were not observed in patients before the procedure.

The fact is that these same “yellowish spots” are nothing more than Fordyce granules. But the reason for their appearance was not the operation at all - it only enlarged the tumors, since the area of their localization also increased. And the granules were there before, only they were barely noticeable to their owners.

Causes of white dots on lips

White unusual spots that appear on the lips indicate helminthiasis, ailments occurring in the internal organs, impaired metabolism, stomatitis, vitamin deficiency, hormonal imbalance, and diseases of the adrenal glands. The true cause of a cosmetic defect can be determined by assessing its size, shape, location (mucous membrane of the mouth, corners of the lips, outer surface), and the level of discomfort it can cause.

25% of women experience whitish small lumps after hyaluronic injection. Such balls can hurt, itch, and itch.

reasons for the occurrence of such problems after lip augmentation:

insufficiently deep injection of filler;
rejection of the drug by the body;
improper care after the procedure;
low-quality hyaluronic acid preparation, after which white spots may not go away for quite a long time;
presence of contraindications;
reduced immunity;
allergy to anesthetics;
unsuccessful combination of medications with the drug used.

Fordyce granules

Small white spots, papules or pimples that litter the lips are often a consequence of Fordyce's disease. Here they are regarded as microcystic formations of the sebaceous glands, formed due to pathological displacement to the upper layers of the epidermis. As a result, the glands, functioning intensively, produce an excess volume of sebaceous secretion, which accumulates and clogs the ducts.

Scientists do not know why the disease develops.

Digestive system dysfunction

If small white dots are found on the lips, then the cause of their formation may be dysbacteriosis. When the balance of pathogenic and beneficial intestinal microflora is disturbed, the gastrointestinal tract and all systems associated with them suffer. Prolonged constipation or diarrhea depletes the body, resulting in toxic elements accumulating in the blood, leading to the formation of seborrheic cysts.

Lack of vitamins and microelements

A lack of vitamin and mineral compounds disrupts the activity of the sebaceous glands, which leads to the appearance of light spots and rashes. If a person eats poorly, unbalanced, monotonously, he may encounter this problem.

Zhiroviki

Small whitish spots (lipomas) have a soft, easily movable consistency. Usually they do not degenerate into cancer and are considered harmless neoplasms.

Their appearance is associated with:

injuries;
disruption of the gastrointestinal tract;
immunosuppression;
hereditary predisposition;
hormonal imbalance;
using low-quality cosmetics.

White dots under the skin on the face can cause unpleasant symptoms in the event of mechanical damage. Then there is a feeling of burning, itching, redness around the wen, inflammation and the release of whitish or yellowish contents from the neoplasm.

Herpes

If a light pimple on the lip resembles a blister, begins to itch, hurt, and swell, this may be a sign of the herpes virus. It infects 90% of the world's population, but symptoms of infection appear only when the immune system is weakened.

White spots in a child

When a neonatologist detects white dots on a child’s lips under the skin, this is associated with:

candidal stomatitis. A disorder occurs as a result of the active activity of the Candida fungus;
bacterial stomatitis, affecting the oral mucosa, in which white spots appear on the inside of the lips;
herpesvirus, which can be transmitted from mother to baby through the birth canal during breastfeeding. Painful rashes are observed both on the outer and inner sides of the lip, in the nose, near the eyes;
allergic stomatitis, in which the child’s oral mucosa exhibits hypersensitivity to irritants. In this case, a white rash forms on the inside of the lip.

Provoking factors that cause white dots or grains to appear in the mouth or lips of young children include:

depressed immunity;
prematurity;
artificial feeding regimen;
insufficient hygiene of pacifiers and nipples;
mucosal injuries;
lack of nutrients in the body;
congestion of the nasal passages, due to which the baby begins to breathe through the mouth, which contributes to the drying out of the mucous membrane;
diseases affecting the digestive and endocrine systems.

Preventive actions

Surgery to remove atheroma on the labia is only part of the treatment. It is very important after surgery to prevent atheroma from forming again.

Any minor lumps in the female genital area should not be ignored. The ball on the labia can be small or large, painful or not cause discomfort, located deep in the tissue or directly under the skin. There are many causes of tumors, one of which may well be oncology. To determine the origin of the ball, additional research is needed (biopsy, histological analysis of a tissue sample).

Features of treatment of the disease

After the first examination, the doctor can make a preliminary diagnosis and refer the patient for diagnostics (if necessary). Treatment tactics directly depend on the cause of the cosmetic defect.

Drug treatment

Having found out why the disease developed, the doctor tells how to get rid of white dots on the surface of the lips.

For example, for Fordyce syndrome they use:

Fenistil gel (costs 385 rubles);
Akriderm ointment (costs 316 rubles);
Erius in tablets (costs 600 rubles);
Suprastin tablets (cost 121 rubles);
Dexpanthenol ointment (cost 155 rubles);
D-Panthenol cream (costs 189 rubles).

For herpes, antiviral creams and ointments are prescribed:

Panavir gel (costs 125 rubles);
Acyclovir in the form of ointment (cost 25 rubles).

When genital herpes is detected in women and there is an infectious process, Acyclovir is prescribed in tablets (cost from 140 rubles).

Traditional methods

If a person is bothered by white spots in the mouth in the lip area, you can use folk recipes:

A fresh aloe leaf is cleaned of sharp parts and secured with a bandage on the upper or lower lip. The procedure is carried out overnight.
Lamb fat is melted and rubbed into the place where many white rashes are visible on the lip.
Wheat grains are chewed, wrapped in gauze and applied to the points on the lip as a compress, secured with film.
Grind the garlic until mushy. Add vegetable oil and rub into problem areas.

Cosmetic methods

When a wen forms, which looks like white dots on a person’s lip, in beauty salons they can:

inject into the wen capsule. After some time it will resolve on its own;
remove the problem using radio frequency radiation.

To eliminate aesthetic problems on the upper and lower lips, they can also offer cryotherapy, electrocoagulation, and laser treatment. If white lumps on the lower and upper lips appear as a result of lip enlargement after injections, the cosmetologist will perform a special massage (for example, with ultrasound) and recommend gymnastics.

How to fight?

The skin of the lips is very thin, so using conventional whitening products in this area can lead to disastrous results. The skin will begin to dry out and painful cracks will appear on it. Therefore, you need to choose the mildest possible means to eliminate pigmentation.

Makeup – regular and permanent

The easiest way to make pigment spots on your lips invisible is with makeup. Lipstick will hide this flaw. But not everyone will like constantly walking around with painted lips and making sure that the lipstick doesn’t smear.

A more convenient way to disguise is permanent lip makeup. The tattooing procedure itself is not complicated, but it needs to be done in a salon with a good reputation and a qualified artist. The specialist applies the coloring pigment to a shallow depth, so the tattoo remains for several years, then the procedure will have to be repeated.

In order for the result to be good, it is important to provide proper care for the skin of the lips after tattooing. Immediately after the procedure, the lips will be slightly swollen and the pigment will appear very bright

Don't worry, everything will be back to normal soon. In a week, the skin will completely heal, and after some time, the color of the lips will pale a little, that is, the color will acquire the planned brightness.

After performing the procedure, it is important to avoid anything that can cause skin irritation or provoke the development of an inflammatory process. Therefore, at first you will have to refuse: Do you like your freckles?

Oh yeah! Of course! No, nightmare!

Do you like your freckles?

Oh yeah! Of course! No, nightmare!

from cosmetics;
from using soap;
from spicy food and alcohol intake;
from kisses;
from visiting the sauna, solarium, swimming pool.

For a week (until the crusts completely fall off), you will need to use ointments with a softening effect. For example, “Bepanten” or “Actovegin”. In addition, to prevent exacerbation of herpes before the procedure and for some time after it, you need to take antiviral drugs

Elos therapy

To eliminate pigmentation on the lips, a beauty salon may offer an elos therapy procedure.

The essence of the procedure is the use of two components - light with a certain wavelength and bipolar current. The effect is carried out precisely on the cells that produce brown pigment. The surrounding tissues are not injured.

The impact parameters are selected by the doctor individually, taking into account the color and size of the pigment spot. After the procedure, the stain may darken a little, but after a few days a crust will form at the site of the stain, after which the pigment spot will disappear or become significantly lighter. To completely remove the stain, long-term treatment is usually required. It will take 3-8 sessions with a break between them of at least 10 days.

Whitening with folk remedies

To eliminate pigmentation, you can use folk remedies. You need to choose recipes that do not dry out the skin. Too aggressive an effect on the thin skin of the lips will not bring any benefit. You should not apply compositions that contain lemon juice or horseradish juice, badyagi powder, or hydrogen peroxide to your lips. But moisturizing compositions can be used to eliminate age spots on the lips.

Here are some recipes.

Lubricate your lips with sour cream or other fermented milk product several times a day. You can add a little honey to the sour cream, then the composition will not only whiten, but also nourish;
grate the cucumber, put the green mass on a gauze napkin and apply the resulting compress to your lips;

wipe lips or just pigmented areas with fresh juice from parsley leaves. Or chop the greens and mix them in equal quantities with thick sour cream. Apply the resulting composition to the skin of the lips for twenty minutes;
Mix cottage cheese with honey and sour cream; instead of sour cream, you can use fresh strawberry puree. Apply this mixture to your lips for half an hour.

Prevention of deviation

To prevent white spots from appearing on the lips after treatment, it is necessary to take preventive measures. This is evidenced by numerous reviews from experts.

They advise:

give up alcohol and smoking;
avoid promiscuity and unprotected sex;
do not neglect the rules of personal hygiene;
take vitamins and immunostimulants;
diversify your usual diet by including a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, dairy products, white and red meat, vegetable and animal fats;
ensure normal drinking regime;
prevent obesity;
avoid emotional turmoil;
have a good rest;
actively engage in sports;
avoid overwork.

Before figuring out how to remove white spots that appear in the lips or mouth, you need to find out what disease caused them. Such manifestations generally do not mean serious health problems, but a medical consultation would not hurt.

Elimination methods

Many people are interested in how to remove whiteheads? You need to know that it is not recommended to get rid of them yourself. This can lead to infection. All kinds of cosmetics cannot help either. There are modern effective ways to cleanse the skin of these unpleasant manifestations.

Laser coagulation is a painless and very effective method. After laser exposure, complete recovery takes 14 days.

You can remove white spots on your face mechanically. This procedure is performed by a cosmetologist. It determines the puncture site with high accuracy, thus will not harm the skin and will not leave scars on it. At one time, the specialist removes no more than 10 milia.

White spots on the nose and lips can also be eliminated using electrocoagulation. The cosmetologist acts on them with high-frequency alternating current, which passes through a very thin needle. It cauterizes the nodules of inflammation. After electrocoagulation, a crust forms on the skin, and then it comes off without a trace. After this procedure, the face must be wiped with an antiseptic for several days.
