Another harmless growth is the Dermatofibroma. A Dermatofibroma is a nodule that is usually
very firm to the touch. It remains the same size or can gradually enlarge over the years.
It can be tender to the touch, but never drains fluid. Often Dermatofibromas are brown in
color. This Dermatofibroma is on the leg and has
been present for years. Because Dermatofibromas do not lead to cancer,
they are best left alone. If you think you have a Dermatofibroma, or if you have been
diagnosed with one, it can be surgically removed, but often the resulting scar is larger and
more unsightly that the original Dermatofibroma.
