Follicular cysts of skin and subcutaneous tissue - what does this mean
Follicular cysts of skin and subcutaneous tissue are non-cancerous cysts that form in the hair follicles due to an accumulation of keratin. this can be caused by a blockage of the hair follicle, which can be caused by inflammation, trauma, or infection. the cysts can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters and may be painful or tender to the touch.
What happens during the disease - follicular cysts of skin and subcutaneous tissue
Follicular cysts of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are caused by a blockage of the hair follicle due to excessive sebum production or a build-up of keratin. this blockage prevents the release of the natural oils and sweat needed to keep the skin healthy. this can lead to an accumulation of bacteria and dead skin cells, resulting in inflammation and the formation of a cyst.
