The majority of the lesion is comprised of grouped white-yellow clods in keeping with sebaceous gland hyperplasia (SGH). SGH is a common lesion, often multiple, found most commonly on the forehead and the cheeks. The main dermoscopic clue are grouped white-yellow clods. White-yellow clods can be found in a number of lesions, but it is the grouping of these clods that is the clue to the diagnosis of SGH. There is no reliably effective treatment for SGH - even with physical treatments such as cryotherapy lesions usually regrow.
