Trichilemmal cyst - what does this mean
Trichilemmal cysts are benign cysts that form from the outer layer of the hair follicle, known as the trichilemmal layer. they usually present as small, round, skin-colored bumps on the scalp, but can also occur on other parts of the body. they are usually asymptomatic, but can become inflamed and painful if they become infected.
What happens during the disease - trichilemmal cyst
Trichilemmal cysts are caused by a blockage in the sebaceous glands, which are located in the outer layer of the skin. this blockage causes the sebum, a waxy substance produced by the sebaceous glands, to accumulate and form a cyst. as the cyst grows, it can become inflamed and painful. in some cases, the cyst can rupture and release the sebum, which can cause an infection.
