Fibrous papule of the nose is a harmless small bump on or near the nose. It is typically dome-shaped, skin-colored, white or reddish, smooth and firm. [1] [2] Less frequently it can occur elsewhere on the face. [3] Sometimes there are a few. [1] It may be shiny and remains unchanged for life. There may be a central hair. [3] The precise cause ...
They appear as small, painless, raised, pale, red or white spots or bumps 1 to 3 mm in diameter that may appear on the scrotum, shaft of the penis, or on the labia, as well as the inner surface (retromolar mucosa) and vermilion border of the lips of the face. They are not associated with any disease or illness, nor are they infectious but ...
A papule is a small, well-defined bump in the skin. [2] It is smaller than a nodule; it can be as tiny as a pinhead and is typically less than 1 cm in width, according to some sources, [2] [3] and 0.5 cm according to others. [4]
It occurs from early childhood to adulthood, and presents as slow-growing, pearly white or skin-colored dermal or subcutaneous papules or nodules on the face, scalp, and back, which may be confused clinically with neurofibromatosis. [3]
Nodules are small firm lumps usually greater than 1 cm in diameter, found in skin and other organs. [1] [2] If filled with fluid they are usually softer and referred to as cysts. [2] Smaller (less than 0.5 cm) raised soft tissue bumps may be termed papules. [3]
They usually occur in the elderly population (mean age 65.1–66.6 in different studies) as small (<2 centimeters), solitary dome-shaped papules, plaques, or nodules, that are skin-colored, pink, red, white, or blue and range from smooth to wart-like, ulcerative, [4] or pyogenic granuloma-like lesions. [10]
They usually occur just under the skin, but occasionally may be deeper. [1] Most are less than 5 cm (2.0 in) in size. [2] Common locations include upper back, shoulders, and abdomen. [4] It is possible to have several lipomas. [3] The cause is generally unclear. [1] Risk factors include family history, obesity, and lack of exercise.
Sebaceous hyperplasia primarily affects older patients in areas with high concentrations of sebaceous glands, such as the face, head, and neck. [3] It typically manifests as yellowish-colored skin with small papules that are often surrounded by telangiectatic blood vessels, also known as "crown vessels," and a central dell that is in line with the origin of the lesions, which is a dilated ...
