Conveniently located to serve the areas of Los Angeles and Santa Monica, CA
Dermatofibromas are common, benign skin growths most typically found on legs of women. They present as a pinkish brown, firm, scar-like bump. Sometimes, their appearance is attributed to a preceding insect bite, ingrown hair, or other minor injury or trauma. As the skin growths are harmless, no treatment is needed. However, dermatofibromas can be surgically removed if bothersome or symptomatic.
