The most common tumor that you''ll find in the clinic is lipoma and dermoid cyst
Usually it's a benign tumor from the subcutaneous area
And the other one is sometime dermoid cyst
Dermoid cyst is usually an inflammation. The problem is, if you don't excise the whole capsule it will just go back again
Even though the pus/pustules already came out, it will come again and again because you haven't remove the capsule
Dermoid cyst, khasnya itu biasanya punya pustul
It has pinpoint like this
This is the place where the cyst will rupture
And if you check and examine, the skin won''t come out loosely. Because it's actually inflammation from under the skin
That's how to differentiate between lipoma and dermoid cyst
If you pinch the skin on the lump, it will come out loosely
Sometimes you get tricked by those 2 kinds of lumps
Because sometimes you cannot see the point like this very clearly
Every time you check the patient, make sure to have enough light
The difference is, if you have lipoma
I will draw it for you
For lipoma, you have to make line incision
That should be enough
For easier one, you can make it longer
About half centimeter
Because if you make the incision just as big as the lump, it is quiet difficult to remove it
Make it longer (1/2 cm for both sides)
For dermoid cyst, if they have point like this, you have to remove the point first
Because if you don't remove it...
