Medical management (i.e., pharmacotherapy) or surgical intervention may be considered, depending primarily on the severity of the condition and its impact on daily life and work. If the condition is severe, surgical excision may be directly indicated, as this approach addresses the root cause most effectively. Postoperatively, regular follow-up examinations are essential to detect and address any issues promptly. Additionally, proper postoperative care—including maintaining wound hygiene—is crucial.
