Our range of minor surgery services carried out at our Milton Keynes clinic includes dermatofibroma removal. Carried out by a qualified GP, the procedure is aimed at safely excising benign growths from the skin.
At Clearer Clinics, our healthcare professionals employ the latest techniques to ensure that patients experience minimal discomfort and scarring.
Our procedure typically involves the following steps:
Consultation: our GP will assess your dermatofibroma and discuss the best removal options.
Removal: a local anesthetic is applied to numb the area, before the dermatofibroma is carefully cut out. The wound is then closed with stitches, if necessary.
Aftercare: every patient receives instructions to aid the healing process and minimise scarring.
This is a condition that causes benign, non-cancerous skin growths that often appear as small, firm nodules. They vary in colour – pink, brown, red, or purple – and can be found on the arms, legs, or torso.
These harmless growths result from an overgrowth of fibrous tissue in the layers of the skin. While dermatofibromas are not usually painful, they can sometimes become itchy or sensitive to touch. Due to their colour and appearance, our patients seek removal for cosmetic reasons or due to discomfort.
Dermatofibromas form in the dermis – the deepest layer of the skin and while some disappear without treatment, others can remain indefinitely. The growths can look similar in appearance to some skin tumours, which is why it is essential to seek a diagnosis from a medical professional.
The truth is that nobody has actually proved a definitive reason why dermatofibroma appears. However, there is evidence suggesting that there is a connection between the lumps and damage to the skin layers.
Deep scratches to the skin surface, a cut from a plant thorn or insect bites have all been cited as common causes. People suffering with other medical conditions can be more prone to developing dermatofibromas. There is no evidence to suggest that dermatofibromas are hereditary.
