To do this, you need to visit a professional cosmetologist or dermatologist who will consult and prescribe an effective treatment method.
Main varieties of wen
There are two common types of wen on the surface of the skin:
- Miliums. Such formations are the most common. In appearance, they are more like white nodules that protrude slightly above the surface of the skin. When touching the formation, you can feel the density, since a large number of keratinized skin particles accumulate in it. From simple acne rashes on the face, wen differ in the absence of excretory ducts, which indicates that they cannot be squeezed out on their own. Most often, wen spread in the area of the eyelids, onforehead and nose wings.
- Xanthelasmas. Such wen are distributed mainly on the eyelids and look like white formations. They can appear in a single quantity or form in whole groups. In some cases, several lipomas merge with each other.
Both types of wen do not provoke unpleasant pain and do not pose a particular danger to humans. But in many cases, a lipoma is a serious cosmetic disorder that is quite difficult to disguise on its own. People go to the removal of wen mainly for aesthetic reasons.
Reasons for appearance
White wen on the nose are formed due to blockage of the ducts of the fatty glands, which leads to the fact that sebum accumulates in large quantities in a certain area and does not come out. Adipose tissue grows rapidly and leads to the formation of a soft structure.
The most common causes of injury are:
- predisposition at the genetic level, in this case, fat cells are formed in excessive quantities;
- problems with hormone production during puberty, during childbearing and during menopause;
- certain diseases in the body: diabetes, problems with the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, kidney and liver diseases, problems with the functioning of the thyroid gland;
- metabolic disorders;
- infectious diseases that have passed into an acute stage;
- problemswith the work of the sebaceous glands;
- due to eating certain foods that contain excessive amounts of fat, cholesterol and preservatives;
- Sedentary lifestyle, lack of activity and exercise
- use of low-quality cosmetics or products that cause allergies on a certain type of skin;
- improper skin care;
- long-term drug use;
- susceptibility to bad habits (drinking excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages, smoking);
- bruises and injuries of the nose.
Symptoms of defeat
Special attention should be paid to the symptoms of the appearance of wen on the nose. Wen in this area of the face can form in any person, regardless of his age category and gender. In appearance, such formations look like small swellings. When pressing on the wen with a finger, you can feel that the tumor formation is soft and its mobility. The skin over the lipoma and at its location remain he althy, do not change their appearance. In very rare cases, the formation on the nose begins to become inflamed. In a normal state, such wen change in size very slowly and do not lead to discomfort in a person.
In most cases, a type of wen occurs in the nose area, like milia. It is formed both on the wings of the nose and at its end, and on the bridge of the nose. Wen on the wing of the nose look like white formations(in some cases with a tinge of yellow) that stand out strongly above the surface of the skin.

Deterioration
If a patient with a wen on the nose suddenly began to feel pain, burning in the area of the wen, and redness and swelling appear on the affected area, this indicates that an inflammatory process has begun in the formation. This condition is dangerous because the tumor can break through at any time, and an infectious process will begin inside the epidermis. It is forbidden to allow such a state, when the first negative symptoms appear, it is important to immediately go to the doctor, who will determine the state of education and prescribe a comprehensive and effective treatment.
Should education be removed?
In appearance, the formation that appeared in the nose area is very similar to a pimple, but it is forbidden to squeeze it out on your own. Firstly, trying to eliminate the lipoma on your own with your hands or with a needle, you can accidentally bring an infection inside, which will lead to the onset of extensive inflammation. Secondly, at best, the specialist will be able to eliminate only the visible part of the formation, and its capsule will remain under the skin, so there is a high risk of a relapse. Thirdly, after self-extrusion of the tumorformation on the nose remains a strongly pronounced unpleasant scar.
It should also be noted that it is forbidden to hide a wen on the nose with cosmetic products, as this can also provoke inflammation. It is categorically impossible to try to get rid of the wen by squeezing out on your own, if the inflammatory process has already occurred, this will lead to the spread of infection to nearby tissues and complicate further treatment of the formation.
When to go to the doctor?

In addition, after removal, a deep and noticeable scar will remain on the skin, which will adversely affect the appearance.
