What should I do about a dermatofibroma?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
1. Observation and monitoring: For small, asymptomatic dermatofibromas, special treatment is usually not required; regular observation and monitoring of any changes are sufficient. 2. Surgical treatment: Surgery can typically completely remove the tumor, reducing the risk of recurrence. However, it should be noted that surgery may result in some degree of scarring. 3. Medication: In certain cases, doctors may recommend drug therapy for dermatofibromas. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of medication varies among individuals and potential side effects may exist.
