Dermatofibroma
DERMATOFIBROMA
Dermatofibromas are often solitary growths that appear over a few weeks. The color can range from pink-red, to brown often shaped in a dome and firm to the touch. They can sometimes exhibit a feature called the “dimple sign” where the growth dimples into the skin when pinched. They occur most commonly on the legs of women, but also on the arms & shoulders of both men and women. Dermatofibromas represent a scar-like reactive process that may be induced by a trauma, such as an insect bite. They often grow to a certain size and stay.
They can be removed surgically or cosmetically using specialized energy devices.
