What is epidermold?

Answer 1

Epidermoid refers to a type of cyst that typically forms within the skin, often containing keratin and other debris. These cysts can appear as small, round lumps and are generally benign. They often develop from hair follicles or the outer layer of skin and may require removal if they become infected or bothersome. In a broader context, "epidermoid" can also refer to cells or tissues that resemble the outer layer of the skin (epidermis).
