Sebaceous adenoma
Information
A sebaceous adenoma is a small, yellow bump containing oil-producing glands. The adenoma is usually found on the face. Such bumps are harmless, but they may be treated if they are cosmetically unappealing. However, sebaceous adenomas may be a sign of more serious internal diseases.
