Dermatofibroma - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment to Get Rid of it Fast
Definition A dermatofibroma is a common benign fibrous skin lesion. It is also known as fibrous histiocytoma. It is a round brownish to purple growth commonly found on the legs and arms. Dermatofibromas contain scar tissue and feel like hard lumps in the skin. It is mostly asymptomatic. But prurutus and tenderness can occur. It usually occurs in women. The ratio of occurring this disease in females to males is four is to one. Most physicians will advocate treatment only if the lesion is in the way of shaving, or is becoming irritated by clothing. Removal can be done surgically with local anesthesia, but since much of the growth extends beneath the surface of the skin, the scar may be larger and more noticeable than the original tumor.
