What’s Causing My Forehead Rash and How Do I Treat It?
Forehead acne, like all acne symptoms, starts with excess oil produced by the sebaceous glands. This extra oil, which is sent through the pores to protect and hydrate the skin, can sometimes become clogged on their way to the skin’s surface, creating a breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria.
Sebaceous hyperplasia causes yellowish or flesh-colored bumps on the skin. These bumps are shiny and usually on the face, especially the forehead and nose. They’re also small, usually between 2 and 4 millimeters wide, and painless. People sometimes mistake sebaceous hyperplasia for basal cell carcinoma, which looks similar.
The ICD code N838 is used to code Paraovarian cyst paratubal cysts (ptcs) and paraovarian cysts are epithelium-lined fluid-filled cysts in the adnexa adjacent to the fallopian tube and ovary. the terms are used interchangeably.

A trichilemmal cyst (also known as a “wen”, “pilar cyst” or “isthmus-catagen” cyst) is a common cyst that forms from a hair follicle[1,2]. These cysts are most often found on the scalp. The cysts are externally smooth, mobile and filled with cytokeratin, a protein family found in hair, nails, and skin[1,2].

Epidermoid cyst Epidermoid (ep-ih-DUR-moid) cysts are noncancerous small bumps beneath the skin. They can appear anywhere on the skin, but are most common on the face, neck and trunk. Epidermoid cysts are slow growing and often painless, so they rarely cause problems or need treatment.
These cysts are more common in adults than in children. Sometimes, epidermal cysts are called sebaceous cysts. This is not correct because the contents of the two types of cysts are different. Epidermal cysts are filled with dead skin cells, while true sebaceous cysts are filled with yellowish oily material.
As such, CPT 11406 Excision, benign lesion including margins, except skin tags (unless listed elsewhere), trunk, arms or legs; excised diameter over 4.0 cm would be appropriate.
Pilar cysts are relatively rare benign cysts that grow from your hair follicles. Most pilar cysts surface on your scalp (head), but they can appear on your face, neck, arms and legs. Pilar cysts are sometimes called trichilemmal cysts or wens. Healthcare providers use surgery to remove cysts.
Bursal cysts are thin- walled cysts filled with gelatinous material. They occur most commonly around major joint spaces. 1,2 The origin of the cyst is somewhat obscure. The cysts are themselves harmless but can be painful due to compression of adjacent nerves. 3 Previously surgery was the main- stay of treatment.
