Keratoacanthoma

Keratoacanthomas are flat or slightly raised round nodules with a diameter of 3-5 mm, not prone to growth, but prone to peripheral growth as a result of constantly increasing tubercles. They can appear on the skin, mucous membranes and other parts of the body.

The appearance of keratoacanctomas can be associated with traumatic injuries or factors predisposing to the disease, such as systematic bad habits such as smoking or vitamin deficiency A. Keratoacanctomas can develop either in the singular or



Keratoacontoma is a benign skin formation, which is a dense, bright red nodule, the size of a millet grain to the head of a pin. Initially, a crawling sensation and peeling are usually noted, which may then disappear, the remaining granularity indicates the beginning of infiltration. Favorite localization is in the fold of the upper eyelid (photo 2), under the mammary glands, less often on the face, scalp, and neck. In places of friction and other constant irritation factors, the keratoacnotomy becomes painful and increases in size.



Keratoacanthomas (KA) are skin neoplasms that have a characteristic clinical picture and can be difficult to diagnose. They can occur at any age, but are most common in older people. These tumors arise from keratinocytes (the cells responsible for skin growth and renewal) and are often associated with smoking and ultraviolet radiation. KAs are solid tumors that are yellowish or gray in color and adherent to adjacent tissues. The swelling can occur on any part of the body, including the face, scalp, fingers, toes, hands, legs, chest and buttocks. The most common locations are on the face, neck, arms and legs.

Keratoacanthomas are usually painless and rarely cause complications such as bleeding, infection, scarring, or orbital perforation. However, these tumors do not go away on their own and need to be monitored. A good treatment for KA is surgical removal of the tumor. This will help avoid possible complications and also ensure a quick recovery. Scarring may occur after KA removal, so it must be monitored and protected from exposure to ultraviolet rays. To avoid repeated
