Dermatofibromas are hard benign nodules most commonly found on the arms and legs, more often in women than in men. They can occur spontaneously or from a cut or bite, and can be pink to brown in colour. A procedure under local anesthesia can be performed to excise the dermatofibroma. Once the dermatofibroma is removed, a stitch is used to hold the skin together. A small pink scar will appear, however over a few months this will most likely fade into a white line.
