One day, when I looked in the mirror, I found that I didn't know when a red pimple began to grow on the right side of my nose. At first, I didn't care. I thought it was caused by excessive internal heat, just like a zit when I was a child. It wasn't long before I went down by myself.
For this reason, I also drank Kuding tea for a while to reduce the fire, and I also used up a Mentholatum acne gel, which was not only useless, but also seemed to get bigger.
During the Spring Festival, my family went to my second aunt and uncle's house to play. My second uncle suddenly looked at my face and said, "You look like an hemangioma."
My second aunt and uncle both work in the hospital. My second aunt is in the laboratory, and my second uncle is the deputy chief physician of orthopedics. I remember every time I went to the hospital to find my second aunt and uncle when I was a child, my memory was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Until now. Although it is not a direct department, it should not be wrong to be so sure.
Not long after I came back, I went to the dermatology department and signed up.
I think it's all tumors, so don't hang the ordinary number, just hang an expert. The doctor diagnosed it as hemangioma.
In fact, there is not much difference between acne and hemangioma. So, how to distinguish which is acne and which is hemangioma?
Knock on the blackboard and draw the key points!
-How to distinguish acne from hemangioma? ——
The epidermis of acne and hemangioma is red, but a white head is often attached to the surface of acne. If you look closely at hemangioma, you will find congestion, which is crystal red and does not contain any impurities.
The following two pictures have attached white heads, which are obviously acne.
And this one has obvious congestion and no other impurity color, which is hemangioma.
-Will hemangioma kill you? ——
Hemangioma is a benign tumor and will not become malignant, so it will not lead to death. You can rest assured of that.
-Will hemangioma disappear by itself? ——
No, it may continue to get bigger. Dude, you're too optimistic.
-What about hemangioma? ——
Hemangiomas are generally convex on the surface and have no roots in the lower part, so doctors will recommend laser surgery.
Is the operation long? Will it hurt? ——
The length of operation time is related to the number and area of your hemangioma. If the quantity is small and the area is small, it will generally be fast. Laser surgery will hurt, but it can be tolerated. If you are afraid of pain, you can use anesthetic. The advantage of laser surgery is that you won't feel any pain once the operation is completed.
In my case, the doctor gave me a dose of anesthetic and pushed me to the intern for surgery. My little brother is very gentle and is studying for a master's degree in medical college. He waved his hand and said that there was no need for anesthetic, so it was useless. Then I walked to the laser operating table, and my father stood outside and looked at me. It will be finished in about a minute. It hurts a little when you use a laser, and it hurts a little more than when you punch your ears. There is no pain after the operation, and there is really no need for anesthesia.
-Will there be scars after the operation? ——
If you are not a scar, you generally won't leave a scar.
At that time, the doctor prescribed me an erythromycin ointment, which was only a few dollars, mainly for anti-inflammation. I kept painting for a month without leaving a scar.
-Will it recur after operation? ——
No, but it does not rule out hemangioma in other parts of the body due to physical problems. Physical problems are like allergies that people often say in life. Some people's skin tissue structure is prone to tumors and cysts, such as me. I will write my history of four tumors in the future, blare ~
If you happen to have red acne on your face, it's no use applying acne cream. You can check what I said above. If it is really hemangioma, you should see a doctor in time. Don't delay your illness!
