Description

An earlobe atheroma, or sebaceous cyst, forms when a blocked sebaceous gland causes the accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. The image highlights a firm, round swelling on the earlobe, which is typically painless but can become inflamed or infected. This condition is useful for dermatologists and medical professionals to recognize, as it can resemble other types of lumps. It offers a clear view of the cyst’s structure, helping differentiate it from other similar skin issues.
