Dermatofibroma, also known as a fibrous histiocytoma, is a common benign skin lesion that typically develops on the lower legs, arms, or upper back. It arises from the skin’s fibrous tissue and, while mostly harmless, can sometimes be a cosmetic concern or cause discomfort.
Dermatofibromas are usually small, measuring less than a centimetre in diameter. Common symptoms are:
While dermatofibromas are non-cancerous and don’t pose a serious health risk, there are several reasons why our patients choose to have them removed at our clinic:
At City Dermatology Clinic, we specialise in the surgical removal of dermatofibroma, offering a painless and quick solution with no downtime required. Our expert team, utilising local anaesthesia, ensures that the procedure is not only effective but also comfortable for our patients. The surgical removal process involves excising the lesion along with a small margin of surrounding tissue, a technique that not only guarantees the complete removal of the dermatofibroma but also minimises the risk of recurrence. This precision and quick recovery time make surgical removal the superior choice for those seeking a definitive solution to dermatofibroma.
Opting for surgical excision at our clinic surpasses the effectiveness of home remedies and over-the-counter treatments by offering a safe, precise, and medically supervised approach. Unlike home remedies that lack the depth to entirely remove the lesion, surgical excision removal by our certified dermatologists eliminates the entire lesion, preventing recurrence. This method is safe, reduces the risk of infection and scarring, and provides peace of mind through professional care. Furthermore, the removed tissue can be examined histologically, offering an added layer of diagnostic clarity that home treatments simply cannot provide.
While it may be tempting to consider home remedies for skin lesions, such approaches often fall short in terms of safety, effectiveness, and accuracy. Home treatments lack the capability to thoroughly remove dermatofibroma, leading to potential recurrence and the risk of overlooking severe health conditions due to misdiagnosis. Moreover, attempting to remove a lesion without medical supervision can increase the likelihood of infection and scarring, ultimately compromising the cosmetic outcome.
Undergoing surgical removal of dermatofibroma at City Dermatology Clinic is straightforward and well-orchestrated, designed to ensure your comfort and safety from start to finish. Here’s a general outline of what you can expect, though your doctor will provide a detailed explanation tailored to your specific case during your consultation.
Your journey begins with a consultation, during which your dermatologist will examine the lesion, discuss your medical history, and explain the procedure in detail. This is an excellent opportunity to ask any questions and understand the reasons for choosing surgical removal as the best course of action for your dermatofibroma.
On the day of the procedure, the area around your dermatofibroma will be cleaned and sterilised to prevent infection. Local anaesthesia will then be applied to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain during removal.
Once the anaesthesia has taken effect, your dermatologist will make a precise incision to remove the dermatofibroma along with a small margin of surrounding tissue. This step is crucial for minimising the risk of recurrence and ensuring the complete removal of the lesion. After the lesion is successfully removed, the incision will be carefully closed with sutures, if necessary, and covered with a sterile dressing to promote healing. The procedure is minimally invasive, allowing for a quick and straightforward recovery. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and to manage any discomfort post-procedure.
A free follow-up appointment may be scheduled to assess your healing progress, remove sutures if they were used, and address any concerns you might have. This visit is also an opportunity to discuss the histological findings from the removed tissue and confirm the diagnosis. Throughout the entire process, from your initial consultation to your recovery and follow-up, our team at City Dermatology Clinic will be dedicated to providing you with the highest standard of care. We understand that undergoing a surgical procedure, no matter how minor, can be daunting, and we are committed to making the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible.
