Sebaceous hyperplasia usually presents as single or multiple white to yellowish soft papules of varying size on the face of middle-aged adults. They may also be found, although less frequently, on the chest, areolae, mouth, and genitals. The center of the lesion often has a slight indentation.

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a common and benign condition of the sebaceous glands. In neonates, it results from exposure to maternal hormones. These are multiple white-yellowish tiny papules that commonly occur around the nose and upper lips of full-term infants. Lesions gradually involute, which usually happens within the first few weeks of life.
Sebaceous hyperplasia
Published in Iris Zalaudek, Giuseppe Argenziano, Jason Giacomel, Dermatoscopy of Non-Pigmented Skin Tumors, 2016
Sebaceous hyperplasia clinically appears as a round, yellow, and lobulated papule with central umbilication, and usually occurs on the face (Figure 20.1). Histologically, it is characterized by multiple hyperplastic sebaceous gland lobules emptying into a central enlarged sebaceous duct.

A randomized comparative trial comparing alternate daily use of 10 mg isotretinoin versus topical anti-seborrheic treatment in moderate to severe seborrhea and seborrheic dermatitis (N = 45) over 6 months, demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in scalp sebum secretion (p = .004) in the isotretinoin arm after 3 months (47). Patients were not followed-up beyond 3 months and the dosage was not weight-dependent. Tagliolatto et al. treated 20 patients with sebaceous hyperplasia with isotretinoin (1 mg/kg per day) for 2 months; the average number of skin lesions decreased from 24 to 2 per patient (p < .05) (59). Isotretinoin is beneficial in sebaceous hyperplasia and sebaceous adenoma (7), cyclosporine-induced sebaceous hyperplasia in renal transplant (15,23), and diffuse familial sebaceous hyperplasia (14).

Adding to the diagnostic conundrum was the concurrent presence of juxtaclavicular beaded lines. This is a benign anatomical variant of sebaceous hyperplasia presenting as parallel lines of papules resembling strings of pearls usually localized in juxtaclavicular areas, but also commonly found at the nape of the neck, inguinal region, and axillae.5 While this entity is commonly reported in dark-skinned adults, there are minimal reports of fair-skinned and prepubescent children presenting with this variant of sebaceous hyperplasia. The etiology is unknown; however, hormonal influences, sun exposure, and links to corticosteroid treatment have been noted.5
Treatment of sebaceous gland hyperplasia: a review of the literature
Published in Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2021
The objective of our review was to examine published articles describing the treatment of SGH. Using the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Database, we searched specifically for the term ‘sebaceous gland hyperplasia,’ and other accompanying terms, such as ‘PDT’, ‘Photodynamic’, ‘Photochemotherapy’, ‘Laser’, ‘sebaceous hyperplasia’, ‘sebaceous gland’, ciclosporin, ‘treatment’, ‘therapy’, cryotherapy, electrodessication, ‘aminolaevulinic acid’, and ‘aminolaevulinic’.
