Dermatofibroma refers to benign tumors. A small bulge on the skin of a rounded shape - this kind of neoplasms is usually determined visually.
Causes of dermatofibroma
The phenomenon is not fully understood. Why this kind of tumor appears on the skin, there are only assumptions.
- It is noted that if parents have dermatofibromas, then it is likely that the formations will be on the skin and offspring. Experts note a hereditary factor.
- Most dermatofibroma occur in female individuals. Age, when the neoplasms manifest themselves - the average. In children, this type of tumors do not occur.
- Systematic physical trauma to the skin can trigger the appearance of dermatofibroma. It can be insect bites.
- Influence of environment with the disturbed ecology is capable to cause origin of neoplasms.
- Infections are one of the possible causes of dermatofibroma.
Species
The formation is dislocated in the deep layers of the skin with a protrusion above its surface.
Composed of:
- fibroblasts,
- histiocytes.
There are:
- dermatofibroma, consisting mostly of fibrotic elements,
- is the same, but with predominance of histiocyte cells.
The internal structure distinguishes such varieties:
- Dermatofibroma is solid. Neoplasm has clear boundaries, to the touch is solid. It can be a single seal or in the form of several formations. The node looks like a sphere or has a lobed structure. Can reach a diameter of two centimeters. This kind of dermatofibroma can disappear in due course. Neoplasms tend to appear on any part of the body. Their coloration is usually skin color - bodily or dark red.

- Lenticular of dermatofibroma. This type of formation appears more often after trauma to the skin. They are painted in different shades of red, can be black. The development of dermatofibroma occurs at a slow pace. Nodule size up to one centimeter. There are single nodules. Dermatofibroma lenticular can be in the form of multiple nodules.

- Soft of dermatofibroma. Education has a leg, soft to the touch. It looks like a flabby and folded nodule with a lobed structure. A soft-type dermatofibroma occurs on the face, maybe on the body. The color of the formation is blue, bodily and even yellowish.
Characteristic symptoms
Neophysics is mainly part of it is located in the depth of the tissue, over the surface of the skin protrudes a small bulge. Outwardly it looks like a birthmark or a wart.
Key features:
- Surface is smooth or uneven, like a wart.
- If you squeeze the seal from both sides, then a depression appears in the center.
- Often at the edges, the formation is colored more intensively.
- If the dermatofibroma is hard, then when you examine it with your finger, it feels like a pebble inside.
- The color of the formation can be unchanged - solid or of a variety of shades:
- violet,
- gray,
- reddish,
- brown,
- pink.
- Dermatofibroma usually does not cause anxiety. Does not give painful sensations, does not degenerate into a more dangerous education. In rare cases, dermatofibroma causes itching and discomfort.
- These types of tumors are characterized by slow rates of development. They are able to change color and grow in size a little.
- Dermatofibroma has a diameter of five millimeters to two centimeters.
- If the seal touches, it can bleed.
- Education is single. Dermatofibromas also occur in a certain amount in different parts of the body.
- Localization of seals more often on the shoulders, extremities of the lower and upper, on the face.
Diagnosis
A specialist in appearance and as a result of a conversation with a patient can establish a diagnosis of dermatofibroma. If any nuances cause doubt, the final verdict can be made after the biopsy analysis of .
For this, under local anesthesia, a piece of education is separated and studied under a microscope.
Treatment of fibroma under the skin
Neoplasm is not harmful to health and can not be treated. The exception is when dermatofibroma causes anxiety, itching. It may be that the tumor is located in a place where it is constantly affected, traumatized.
This method is simple and after treatment does not leave consequences. Dermatofibroma through time can again grow to its original state.
This is a drawback of this method. If this happens, then the removal of the upper part of the formation can be repeated.
Surgical intervention
Dermatofibroma is located in deep layers of the skin. When surgically removed, the compartments are deeply dissected.
The operation is performed under local anesthesia. After removal, scars remain. They eventually become less visible.

If the removal operation was in a prominent place, especially on the face, then the scars would have to be pampered. Measures that will help make the visibility of the seam more aesthetic:
- microdermabrasion,
- is another surgery for scar excision,
- laser resurfacing.
Laser and Liquid Nitrogen Removal
Scar Removal Techniques:
- With cryotherapy. Removing the formation of low temperatures with liquid nitrogen gives a good effect, leaves no traces. Only dermatofibroma can restore itself through time.
- Laser beam removal. The method is painless, non-contact. Lack - the result can also turn out to be temporary. Education can grow again.
