After years finally got diagnosis for skin condition...

I have sebaceous hyperplasia. Does anyone else have this condition on the face? Any successful treatments? My dermatologist suggested a specific laser. TIA ETA: Meant to say finally got "accurate" diagnosis. ;0)

Re: After years finally got diagnosis for skin condition...

Hi there. I've been diagnosed with approximately 15 places of "SH" on my face. I'm going to the dermatologist next week so she can remove just one as a test spot to see how I heal. If all goes ok, I'll have the rest removed at one time and take a long weekend for the places to heal. I hate these little spots. I fought adult acne for several years, only to have these little bumps pop up and look awful. Anyways, I hope the approach you choose is successful! Please keep us updated. Smiley Happy

I googled it because I was curious as to what the name meant and found this on Paula's Choice web site. It gives info about products to use.
