Patient Question: Disease:Sebaceous nevus Description:Hello director, my baby is two months old and a 3*2M irregular rectangular sebaceous nevus was found on the left forehead near the hairline after birth. 2. Which method is less painful, less scarring and more effective for children? 3.When is the best time for treatment? 4. Is anesthesia required? If general anesthesia is needed, is it harmful to children? 5.Is it painful after surgery? How long is the recovery time? 6.Is there any recurrence after surgery? What are the chances of recurrence? I would like to ask the doctor to give me some advice on treatment and whether my current condition requires surgery. Do I need to see a doctor? What preparations should I make before the visit? Reply: As you can see, this is a sebaceous nevus, a common benign swelling of the skin, which is generally stable and does not grow suddenly and quickly. Treatment can only be surgically removed. Children are safer to operate when they are 3 months old and weigh 5 kg or more, but if possible, the older they are, the less risk of anesthesia, so there is no hurry to do it unless parents find that it grows very fast. It is recommended that you take measurements every three months and take pictures and note down the dates so that you can have a comparison. If you don’t grow up, try to wait until the child is older and just finish before school. It will not recur after complete removal.
