This document summarizes a presentation on epidermal cysts in skin. The presentation aims to provide laypeople with an essential understanding of epidermal cysts for health management. It defines an epidermal cyst as a mass beneath the skin containing keratin. Epidermal cysts are commonly caused by implantation of epidermal elements and are usually located on the face, neck, and trunk. The most common complication if untreated is infection. Treatment options include watchful waiting, incision and drainage, or excision, with excision having the lowest risk of recurrence. The presentation emphasizes patient empowerment and gaining control over health decisions regarding epidermal cysts.
This document summarizes a presentation on epidermal cysts in skin. It began with introductions and objectives to empower laypeople with knowledge of epidermal cysts for health management. The presentation defined epidermal cysts as palpable skin masses under the epidermis containing keratin. It discussed their hypothesized causes, differences from other skin lesions, common locations, risk of infection if untreated, diagnosis, and treatment including watchful waiting, incision and drainage, and excision. It noted cysts often recur with incision and drainage but less with excision. Images showed cyst operations and contents. The takeaway message emphasized the importance of knowledge for empowerment and management of epidermal cysts.
The document summarizes several key aspects of the integumentary system:
- The thickest skin is on the palms and soles, around 4mm thick on feet, while the thinnest skin is on eyelids and lips.
- There are two main types of sweat glands - eccrine glands all over the body, and apocrine glands developing at puberty near hair follicles, which produce body odor.
- Various skin conditions and features are described like wrinkles, scars, keloids, eczema, alopecia, warts, acne, and boils. Their causes and characteristics are summarized.
- Hair growth cycles through anagen,

The condition in diabetics with reduced blood flow is peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Other things that can decrease blood flow include smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity.
Darker skin provides more protection from ultraviolet light due to higher levels of melanin. However, it also increases the risk of scarring and pigmentation problems. Lighter skin is more prone to wrinkles from sun exposure but shows inflammation through redness rather than dark spots. Both skin types need sun protection to slow aging. Tips to slow aging for all skin types include avoiding sun exposure, moisturizing, using antioxidants, and exfoliating.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, weighing approximately 6-9 pounds. It has three layers - the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis has five layers and contains no blood vessels, while the dermis has two layers and contains hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, nerves, and blood vessels. Proper nutrition from vitamins and minerals is important for skin health, as the skin relies on internal factors for repair and replacement of cells. Maintaining hydration and a balanced diet supports the skin's functions of protection, regulation, sensation, and absorption.

Atopic dermatitis is a genetic disease that causes itchy, red, warm, and tender skin. It often appears before a baby's first birthday and affects the integumentary system. Around 90% of cases develop before age 5. While the exact causes are still being studied, it is not contagious. Symptoms in babies include dry, scaly patches on the skin. In children, a rash often begins in elbow and knee creases and other areas. Adults rarely get it, but it can appear on the neck, face, eyes, and cause very dry, scaly, itchy skin and infections. The main treatment is corticosteroid medicines, which are effective but have side

Acne is a very common skin disease that can occur on many areas of the body and can develop at any age. Face acne is very common, but chest acne and back acne, as well as acne on the scalp, neck, shoulders, and upper arms are also ordinary. Acne is a disease that affects the skin's oil glands (Pilosebaceous unit). The small holes in your skin (pores) connect to oil glands under the skin. These glands make an oily substance called sebum. The pores connect to the glands by a canal called a follicle. Inside the follicles, oil carries dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. A thin hair also grows through the follicle and out to the skin. When the follicle of a skin gland clogs up, a pimple grows. Most pimples are found on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Acne is not a serious health threat, but it can cause permanent pits and scars....

ROJoson PEP Talk: DOES EVERYONE HAVE CANCER CELLS IN THEIR BODY?Reynaldo Joson
The document discusses whether everyone has cancer cells in their body. It explains that while our bodies are constantly producing new cells, not all of these cells are destined to become cancerous. A typical healthy cell goes through cycles of growth, division and death, while a cancer cell does not follow this normal cycle and keeps reproducing abnormally. Not everyone inherently has cancer cells in their body from the beginning - it is possible for initially normal cells to eventually develop into cancer cells due to certain risk factors.
ROJoson PEP Talk: Can one skip CHEMOTHERAPY in BREAST CANCER TREATMENT?Reynaldo Joson
Chemotherapy is a systemic cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to destroy fast-growing cancer cells. It works by keeping cancer cells from growing and dividing. Chemotherapy can be given alone or with other treatments depending on the cancer type and stage. Factors like a person's age, health, and the cancer details help determine the chemotherapy plan and drugs. Chemotherapy aims to cure cancer, shrink tumors before other treatments, destroy remaining cancer cells after treatment, or slow cancer progression and relieve symptoms.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

ROJoson PEP Talk
I have a Patient
Empowerment
Program in which I
like to empower the
lay people or
patients to take
control in the
management of
their health.
8. I started the PEP Talk
on May 15, 2021.
There are 3 courses
in the PEP Talk.
I completed the Core
Course on October 9,
2021.
9. From October 23,
2021 onwards, I have
been tackling Health
Disorder and Health
Issue Courses. This
may take 3 years or
longer depending on
our enthusiasm,
discipline and
perseverance.

CYSTS IN SKIN
12. What is an epidermal cyst in the skin?
An epidermal cyst is a palpable mass
located just beneath the epidermal
layer of the skin that contains a capsule
and inside of which are cheesy, oily,
greasy keratin material (skin element).
In majority of the epidermal cysts, there
is a punctum, a dark colored point or
spot which represents a plugged
opening.

14. What is the hypothesized cause of
epidermal cysts?
Most epidermal cysts are caused
by implantation of epidermal elements
into the dermis
- when skin (epidermal) cells move
under the skin surface, or are covered
over by it instead of shedding. These
cells continue to multiply, like skin
does normally. They then form a wall
around themselves (cyst) and secrete
normal skin fluids (keratin).

15. What is the hypothesized cause of epidermal
cyst?
EPIDERMAL

16. Terminologies Explained
Oftentimes, doctors use the phrase “sebaceous
cysts” referring to epidermal cysts which is not
correct anymore.
If the cysts contain keratin substance, then the
proper term is epidermal cysts or epidermoid
cysts or epidermal inclusion cysts (all the same).
If the cysts contain sebaceous substance, then
the proper term is sebaceous cysts.
EPIDERMAL
CYSTS IN SKIN
The term milia refers
to very small,
superficial
epidermal cysts.
17. Terminologies Explained
Acne or pimples are not the same as epidermal
cysts.
EPIDERMAL
CYSTS IN SKIN
Epidermal cyst - mass
beneath the skin with
punctum
Acne – clogged skin pores
18. Where are epidermal cysts commonly located?
Although most commonly located on the face,
neck, and trunk, epidermal cysts can form
anywhere on the body.

20. How to recognize and diagnose epidermal cysts?
Lump or mass just beneath the skin and with a
punctum. Anywhere.

21. What is the treatment for epidermal cysts?
WATCHFUL WAITING
One can usually leave a cyst alone especially if small ~one cm (if it
doesn't cause discomfort or cosmetic problems).
INCISION AND DRAINAGE
Placing a small cut in the cyst and gently squeezes out the contents
without removing the capsule. May recur.
EXCISION
Remove the entire cyst (with the capsule). Lesser chance for recurrence.

22. Do epidermal cysts recur after an operation?
YES, epidermal cysts often recur with incision
and drainage.
They recur less often with excision.
