I was unsure exactly what this was and sent her tissue out to confirm that this is a Pilomatricoma (aka Calcifying Epithelioma of Malherbe, or pilomatrixoma) is a benign growth derived from hair matrix cells. Usually occurs as a single lesion on the face, neck or upper arms. They cause no pain, but are firm bumps under the skin. The diagnosis is usually made only after looking at the tissue under the microscope. We look for “shadow cells” under the microscope. Calcification and ossification can occur (calcium and bone can develop within) which can make these very firm and hard, much like a pebble or little jagged rock under the skin. These are benign and don’t need to be removed, but if someone requests removal, a surgical excision is needed.

Remember that skincare is extremely personal to everybody’s skin. What works for me, may not work for you. But I hope my videos give you some good ideas for products, techniques and Ingredients to try.
Also, i’m obviously not a dermatologist or a doctor, so all opinions on products and anything else i’m presenting, is results and findings from my own experience and research.
And that’s why i’m here, to share my research and my findings that go further than what is said on the bottle or google!
But, everything I present is always a discussion for you to join in with 🙂
If you have any serious skin concerns, please see a dermatologist / doctor.
