Overview

Sebaceous adenoma

Information:

A sebaceous adenoma is a small, yellow bump containing sweat glands that is usually found on the face. These bumps are harmless, and they may be treated if they are cosmetically unappealing. However, sebaceous adenomas may be a sign of more serious internal diseases.
