Facial Bumps During GLP-1: Sebaceous Hyperplasia

New facial bumps during GLP-1 treatment deserve identification before cosmetic treatment.

Have facial bumps assessed

Cleveland Clinic describes enlarged oil glands forming benign bumps, often with a central dent. A clinician can examine them; occasionally a biopsy excludes basal cell carcinoma. [1]

Decide after diagnosis

Confirmed sebaceous hyperplasia needs no treatment. If its appearance bothers you, discuss options such as freezing or laser treatment. Do not attempt these procedures at home. [1]

Discuss what can return

Medication benefits may stop when treatment ends. Removing one bump does not prevent others elsewhere. Growing bumps or wounds that will not heal need assessment. [1]
