Epidermoid cysts - what are they, why do they form, and how to effectively care for skin prone to epidermoid cysts?

by Żaneta Pasierkiewicz - cosmetologist

At the cosmetologist's office, I very often encounter patients with small changes under the skin that cause concern – most often, it turns out they are epidermoid cysts. Although they are benign lesions, in many cases they cause aesthetic discomfort, and when inflamed – also pain and swelling.
According to dermatological data (Dermatologic Surgery, 2019), epidermoid cysts account for up to 20% of all benign skin tumors. Their presence is not dangerous, but it requires attention and a conscious approach to skin care.

What are epidermoid cysts?

Epidermoid cysts (also known as epidermal cysts) are small, round lumps under the skin, filled with keratinous and sebaceous material. They form as a result of a blocked hair follicle or sebaceous gland.

Characteristic features:

• spherical or oval shape,
• size from a few mm to several cm,
• skin color unchanged or slightly yellowish,
• usually painless (until superinfection).

What are the causes of epidermoid cysts?

Keratinization disorders of the epidermis

Most often, epidermoid cysts form as a result of excessive keratin accumulation. Epidermal keratinization is a natural process in which cells gradually die and slough off. However, when this process is disturbed, keratin accumulates in the hair follicle opening, leading to a blockage and cyst formation. This explains why epidermoid cysts have a characteristic white or yellowish, "cheesy" content.

Overproduction of sebum

Another factor contributing to the formation of epidermoid cysts is increased sebum secretion by the sebaceous glands. Sebum, combined with keratin, can effectively block the hair follicle opening. This phenomenon is observed especially in people with oily and combination skin, as well as during periods of intense hormonal changes.

Genetic predispositions

Genetic factors are also significant. Studies indicate that people who experience epidermoid cysts more frequently may have an innate predisposition to the formation of epidermal cysts. In practice, this means that even with proper skin care, their risk of developing lesions is higher.

Skin microtraumas

Even minor injuries, such as irritation after shaving, abrasions, or squeezing acne lesions, can damage hair follicles and lead to blockage of gland openings. This promotes the accumulation of keratin and sebum, and consequently, the formation of cysts. Therefore, dermatologists strongly advise against mechanically manipulating skin lesions.

Acne and seborrheic dermatitis

Epidermoid cysts appear more frequently in people with acne vulgaris and seborrheic dermatitis. Both of these dermatoses are associated with overproduction of sebum, chronic inflammation, and keratinization disorders, which creates a favorable environment for the formation of epidermal cysts.

Hormonal factors

Hormones, especially androgens, play an important role in regulating the function of sebaceous glands. Their excess leads to overproduction of sebum, thereby increasing the risk of hair follicle blockage and the development of epidermoid cysts. For this reason, these lesions are more often observed during puberty, in people with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or with endocrinological disorders.

According to a publication in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (2017), it is the overproduction of keratin and sebum that constitutes the key mechanisms for the development of epidermal cysts. The authors emphasize that understanding these processes is essential for proper diagnosis and differentiation of epidermoid cysts from other skin lesions.

How to recognize an epidermoid cyst?

• a hard or soft lump palpable under the skin,
• sometimes a visible "dark spot" on the surface (blocked follicle opening),
• usually grows painlessly over months or years,
• in case of inflammation – redness, swelling, tenderness.

Are epidermoid cysts dangerous?

They are generally harmless and benign in nature.

However, they can:
• become superinfected with bacteria,
• rupture and cause inflammation,
• cause psychological and aesthetic discomfort.

In rare cases, they require differentiation from skin cancerous tumors – therefore, any lesion that grows rapidly or changes appearance should be evaluated by a dermatologist.

Treatment of epidermoid cysts

• Surgical removal – the most effective method, the entire cyst with its capsule is excised to prevent recurrence.
• Drainage – removal of the contents, but the cyst may regrow.
• CO2 laser – used in aesthetic medicine, precisely removes the lesion.
WARNING! Do not squeeze epidermoid cysts yourself, as this leads to infection and scarring.

Skin care for skin prone to epidermoid cysts

Although existing epidermoid cysts are removed surgically, proper care can reduce the risk of their formation. Familiarize yourself with the proposed care that limits the formation of epidermoid cysts.

Skin cleansing

Gentle gels without SLS and alkaline soaps.

I recommend: Gentle Date + Inulin Face Wash Gel – cleanses without disrupting the hydrolipid barrier.

Toning and regulation

Moisturizing Toner Essence with Gluconolactone – gentle exfoliation and pH balance restoration. Thanks to the skin microbiome balance provided by this product, epidermoid cysts will not form.

Sebum reduction

HydroTremella Sebum Regulating Cream

HydroTremella Mask for Imperfections

Lifestyle and epidermoid cysts

• Diet – limit simple sugars and trans fats, support a diet rich in zinc, vitamin A, and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Skin hygiene – regular but gentle cleansing.
• No squeezing of lesions – minimizes the risk of microtrauma and infection.
• Stress reduction – stress aggravates inflammation and seborrheic problems.

Zaburzone pH skóry - jak je rozpoznać i przywrócić równowagę?

Skin pH - why is acid-base balance the foundation of healthy skin?

More and more people are investing in advanced serums, peptide creams, and acid treatments, yet they still struggle with burning, tight skin, excessive oiliness, or recurring blemishes. Very often, the cause isn't a "bad cosmetic," but something much more fundamental— imbalanced skin pH . pH is one of the foundations of healthy skin. If it's imbalanced, even the best skincare routine won't work optimally. Skin becomes more permeable, susceptible to irritation, and loses water more quickly. As a result, it begins to "send out alarm signals," which many people mistakenly interpret as a need for stronger cleansing or stronger active ingredients. Unfortunately, this often exacerbates the problem. In this article we will focus not on theoretical definitions (which I discuss here) , but on practice : how to recognize disturbed skin pH, what destroys them most often, what the skin looks like when balance begins to return, and how to rebuild it step by step in daily care. Disturbed skin pH - what does this mean in practice? Healthy skin has a slightly acidic pH. This environment promotes proper enzyme function, microbiome maintenance, and the integrity of the hydrolipid barrier. As the pH shifts toward a more alkaline pH, the skin: loses water faster, regenerates worse, reacts more easily with inflammation, tolerates active ingredients less well. Importantly, a pH imbalance doesn't always mean dry skin . It also often affects oily and combination skin, which becomes excessively oily while simultaneously dehydrated. If you want to learn exactly what skin pH is, what its norms are, and how the protective acid mantle works, read our guide to skin pH . The most common symptoms of disturbed skin pH pH imbalances rarely produce a single, clear symptom. Typically, a combination of several symptoms occurs: feeling of tightness right after washing your face, burning or stinging after applying cosmetics, skin that is dry and shiny at the same time, greater tendency to develop blackheads and pimples, periodic redness, flaking or roughness, impaired tolerance of acids and retinoids. If you recognize several of the above points, it's very likely that your skin primarily needs pH stabilization and barrier strengthening , rather than another powerful active ingredient. Why does pH imbalance often “pretend” to be other skin problems? One of the reasons why pH imbalance can be difficult to diagnose is that its symptoms resemble: sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, dry skin, dehydrated skin. In practice, this means that many people are starting to use increasingly stronger cosmetics to address the problem, instead of first rebuilding the foundation . Meanwhile, without a stable pH, even the best serums won't reach their full potential. What most often leads to skin pH disturbances? The most common causes include: washing your face with soap or highly foaming gels, no toning after cleansing, too frequent acid peels, hard and chlorinated water, cosmetics with high alcohol content, stress, lack of sleep, hormonal disorders, a diet rich in simple sugars and highly processed products. It is worth emphasizing that even good cosmetics can stop being beneficial to the skin if they are used in too large quantities or in the wrong order . What does the skin look like when the pH begins to normalize? The first changes are subtle but very characteristic: less feeling of tightness after washing, better hydration without heaviness, less burning after applying cosmetics, calmer, more even complexion, gradually less prone to breakouts. This is a sign that the hydrolipid barrier is beginning to rebuild and the skin is returning to its physiological functioning mode. Restoring pH isn't about a single "miracle" cosmetic. It's a process based on a few simple but consistent steps . With pH imbalances, it's crucial to simultaneously strengthen the skin's protective barrier. You can read more about this in our article on the skin's hydrolipid barrier. 1. Gentle cleansing instead of squeaky clean Your skin shouldn't feel tight or squeaky after washing. This sensation usually means that its natural protective barrier has been breached. A good choice is the Orientana Gentle Face Wash Gel Daktyl + Inulina , which: gently removes impurities, does not disturb the acid-base balance, supports the microbiome thanks to inulin. Regular use of a gentle gel is the first step to stabilizing the pH. 2. Toning – the fastest way to restore pH After each wash, it is worth using a tonic or tonic-essence. The following products are good for Orientan care: Moisturizing tonic-essence with gluconolactone – supports pH, gently exfoliates and moisturizes, Orientana Rose Tonic – soothes, calms and helps maintain the physiological skin reaction. Tonic acts as a “reset” for the skin after contact with water. In your daily routine, it is worth using toners that restore the physiological pH of the skin - see Orientana facial toners. 3. Strengthening the barrier and microbiome Stable pH goes hand in hand with a strong hydrolipid barrier. Reishi Ceramide Serum : supports the reconstruction of the epidermis, strengthens the barrier, helps maintain the proper environment for the microbiome. Yuzu Ceramide Cream Mask: "repairs" the hydrolipid barrier enhances skin hydration strengthens the skin structure Disturbed pH of the body skin - a problem that we often ignore When it comes to pH, we most often talk about the face, but the skin on the body reacts very similarly to acid-base imbalances. Itching after bathing, tightness, and flaking skin on the calves or arms are all signs that the protective acid mantle has been weakened. The most common mistakes in body care: using highly foaming shower gels, hot, long baths, lack of moisturizing after washing, products with alcohol and intense fragrances. In such a situation, it is crucial not only to wash gently, but also to immediately support the barrier after bathing. A good solution is the Moisturizing Sandalwood Balm. Regular use of emollients makes the skin regain elasticity faster and the pH gradually stabilizes. How does lifestyle affect skin pH? Skin condition isn't solely the result of cosmetics. The body functions as a whole, so pH imbalances often go hand in hand with: chronic stress, sleep deprivation, a diet high in sugars and processed foods, dehydration. A diet that supports skin balance It is worth regularly reaching for products rich in: zinc, vitamin E, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids. It is also good practice to limit sweetened drinks and sweets and increase the supply of vegetables, fruit and mineral water. Although diet does not directly “set” the skin’s pH, it significantly supports the regeneration of the barrier , and it is this barrier that stabilizes the pH. What to avoid if you want to restore your skin's pH? With disturbed pH, less is more. Common mistakes that slow down regeneration: too frequent acid peels, combining many active ingredients at once, washing your face with hot water, lack of toning, frequent changes of cosmetics. The skin needs time to rebuild its natural protective mechanisms. How long does it take for skin pH to normalize? Most people see the first results after 3–7 days of gentle care. Full stabilization of the hydrolipid barrier may take several weeks – depending on the degree of its weakening. Consistency is more important than intensity. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Can the tonic be used several times a day? Yes, especially for sensitive and dehydrated skin. Does micellar water disturb the skin's pH? Maybe – that's why it's always worth rinsing it off and applying toner. Does oily skin also need pH stabilization? Yes – often even more than dry. Are PHA acids safe at disturbed pH? Yes, for example gluconolactone has a gentle effect and supports balance. Does age affect skin pH? Yes – as we age, the pH gradually increases, which is why the skin becomes more sensitive. Imbalanced skin pH is one of the main, yet often overlooked, causes of skin problems. Without stabilizing it, it's difficult to expect spectacular results from even the best serums and creams. Gentle cleansing, regular toning and barrier-strengthening cosmetics – such as Orientana toners and serums – allow the skin to return to its natural balance and regain a healthy appearance. The most important information at a glance What is impaired skin pH? This is a condition in which the skin's protective acid mantle loses its balance, leading to dryness, hypersensitivity, imperfections and a weakening of the hydrolipid barrier. Most common symptoms: tightness after washing, burning, excessive oiliness, redness, peeling, poorer tolerance of cosmetics. How to restore skin pH? Use gentle cleansing, always use toner, strengthen the hydrolipid barrier and avoid aggressive exfoliation. How quickly can you see improvement? First results after 3–7 days, full stabilization usually within a few weeks. If your skin reacts with burning, tightness, or excessive oiliness, start with the basics. Proper cleansing, toning, and barrier-strengthening products are the easiest way to restore pH balance. Discover Orientana cosmetics that support the physiological pH of the skin and rebuild the protective barrier.

Sakura - the magic of Japanese cherry blossoms in care and culture

Sakura, the Japanese ornamental cherry, is much more than just a tree that blooms in spring. It's a symbol of transient beauty, new beginnings, and harmony with nature, and has fascinated not only the Japanese but also people around the world for centuries. What exactly is sakura, and why is its charm increasingly permeating the world of natural cosmetics? What is sakura? Sakura is a term encompassing dozens of species and varieties of ornamental cherry trees (Prunus), renowned for their beautiful, delicate flowers in shades of white and pink. In Japan, they bloom in early spring, usually from late March to early May, creating unique, fairytale-like landscapes. Sakura blossoms are delicate, five-petaled, and incredibly fleeting. Their bloom lasts only a few days, making this sight even more special. The most important features of cherry blossoms Fleeting beauty - flowers fall off after just a few days Delicate fragrance - subtle, slightly sweet and powdery aroma A variety of shades - from pure white to intense pink A symbol of spring - in Japan, the blossoming of sakura announces the arrival of a new season Hanami - the tradition of admiring sakura In Japanese culture, celebrating the cherry blossom season is a holiday called hanami (literally "flower viewing"). For centuries, Japanese people have gathered in parks and gardens to celebrate the beauty of nature. It's a time for picnics under blossoming trees, reflection on the passage of time, and the joy of new beginnings. Hanami is not just an aesthetic experience—it's a philosophy, reminding us of the preciousness of the moment and accepting the natural cycle of life. The sakura blooms briefly but intensely, a metaphor for human life: beautiful yet impermanent. This awareness of transience, called mono no aware in Japan, gives moments spent under the sakura a special depth. Sakura in cosmetics - care inspired by nature The delicacy and purity of cherry blossoms have become an inspiration for the cosmetics industry. Sakura extracts are used in natural cosmetics for their nourishing properties: Soothing effect - relieves irritation and skin discomfort Moisturizing - helps maintain the proper level of hydration Gentleness - suitable for sensitive skin and hair Fragrance - a subtle, floral aroma with a relaxing effect Fragrance mist with a hint of sakura One interesting product inspired by the Japanese hanami ritual is a sakura-scented body and hair mist. These cosmetics not only envelop the skin with a pleasant fragrance but also moisturize and refresh it. These lightweight formulas, with no or minimal alcohol content, can be used multiple times a day. A great example of such a product is the Sakura Japanese Hair and Body Mist 50 ml , which combines perfuming, moisturizing, and relaxing properties. Thanks to the presence of plant extracts (including peony and magnolia), this product not only smells like Japanese spring but also nourishes the skin and hair.

Regular use leaves skin noticeably smoother, more elastic, and looking rested. The subtle scent of cherry blossoms gives the treatment a pleasant, enveloping character, transforming daily application into a mini body ritual. This serum is perfect for daily skincare, especially when skin begins to lose firmness or looks tired. The product comes in a practical bottle with a convenient sprayer for easy application. The formula is also suitable for use by pregnant and breastfeeding women. Benefits of using sakura cosmetics For the skin Products containing cherry blossom extract have a soothing and refreshing effect. Sakura supports skin regeneration, improves elasticity, and adds a healthy glow. This is a great solution for those with sensitive or dry skin, especially after exposure to the sun or cold air. For hair Sakura-infused hair care products—such as mists and conditioners—subtly scent hair without weighing it down. They also promote hydration and protect against static electricity. They can be used as a finishing touch after styling or as a quick refresher during the day. For your well-being The aroma of sakura isn't just aesthetically pleasing—it also supports the mind. Research shows that floral scents, especially delicate and powdery ones, help lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and promote relaxation. Using a sakura-infused cosmetic can become a daily mindfulness ritual—a moment of pause, deep breathing, and a focus on inner balance.

How to introduce a sakura ritual into your routine? You don't have to fly to Japan to experience the magic of sakura. You can create your own daily ritual inspired by Japanese philosophy: In the morning , after showering, spritz your body and hair with a hint of sakura mist. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and experience the delicate, floral aroma. Carry a small mist with you in your purse throughout the day . When you're feeling stressed or tired, refresh your face or hair—it's a simple way to pause and reset. In the evening , light a sakura-scented candle, sit comfortably with a cup of tea, and take a few minutes to reflect on your day. This is a Japanese approach to mindfulness. Why is it worth loving sakura? Sakura is much more than just pretty flowers. It's a symbol of transience, beauty, and acceptance of the natural rhythm of life.
