Skin fibromas are soft, small growths on the skin. They are usually not painful and benign.
Symptoms
- Soft, skin-colored growths that sometimes have a stalk.
- Often found in areas where the skin rubs against itself, such as the neck, armpits, or groin.
Causes
The exact cause of skin fibromas is unknown, but friction may play a role. Genetic factors may also contribute.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is often made by a doctor or dermatologist through visual examination and sometimes a biopsy.
Treatment
Skin fibromas often do not need treatment unless they cause discomfort. In such cases, they can be removed by electrocoagulation or a minor surgical procedure.
