Is this sebaceous hyperplasia or something different? What is the best treatment? (photos)

Asked By:adawn7

Bumps and uneven texture started several years ago and has spread to face. CO2 fractional ablative laser and tretinoin offered no improvement. Biopsy shows sebaceous hyperplasia although several doctors have said they have never seen it present this way. Any idea what this is and how to improve the skin’s appearance.
