Glossary Eruptive Vellus Hair Cysts

small, benign skin bumps from trapped tiny hair follicles

Eruptive Vellus Hair Cysts are small, benign skin lesions that occur when tiny hair follicles (vellus hairs) become trapped under the skin. These cysts typically appear as multiple, small, dome-shaped bumps, often on the chest, abdomen, or limbs, and are usually asymptomatic but can sometimes cause mild itching or discomfort.
