Dermatofibroma common in adults, and less often - in children. These structures may be pink, gray, red or brown, sometimes they change color over the years. Dermatofibromas and solid to the touch and may resemble a stone under the skin. If dermatofibromu squeeze the sides, on the surface appears small pit.

As a rule, dermatofibromas painless, but in some people they cause pain or itching. The most common single dermatofibromas, but in some patients, there may be many. They seldom longer 1-1, 2 cm in diameter.

Earlier dermatofibromu considered a reaction to insect bites or injuries, but this version of the origin of the disease has not been confirmed.

Symptoms

Dermatofibromas usually develop very slowly. They look like small, hard and slightly protruding growths on the skin, the color of which is markedly different from the normal skin color.

The most common symptoms of dermatofibroma:

• Typically, the neoplasms are located on the legs below the knee, but it is possible the appearance of tumors in her arms or torso

• Over time, the color and size dermatofibromas changes
• Sometimes when you touch the new formation occurs itchy or painful
• On the affected skin growths appear reddish, pink, purple, gray or brown tint
• As a rule, Dermatofibroma not accompanied by painful sensations, but the skin is very sensitive, there is itching

Diagnostics

Most often, the doctor can diagnose dermafibromu after visual inspection entities. If the build-up does not look like a typical dermafibromu and / or if he sometimes bleeding, the doctor will probably do a biopsy. During this procedure, a small piece of dermatofibroma is removed and examined under a microscope. When a biopsy is possible to diagnose cancer. Before the biopsy the patient is given a local anesthetic.

Dermatofibroma does not pass by itself, and if untreated, the patient will remain for life.

Treatment

Often dermatofibromas not require treatment. As a rule, patients prefer to remove dermatofibromas if they are in a prominent position, and / or if a man touches them constantly, such as when shaving or dressing, and if the education cause itching and / or pain.

Since dermatofibromas located deep to remove them have to make cuts in the deep layers of the skin; after the procedure usually remain visible scars. If the procedure goes well, the patient can go home the same day. Complications are rare and linked, usually not with dermatofibroma, and with the quality of the procedure.

An alternative is to top of the cutting dermatofibroma, but in this case a few years it may again increase.

In very rare cases, a type of skin cancer Skin cancer - a full recovery possible   called dermatofibrosarcoma in the early stages of development causes symptoms similar to the symptoms of dermatofibroma.

Although skin cancer is relatively rare, it is necessary to do everything possible to protect themselves.

Scar after removal dermatofibromas for some time remains red, very noticeable and causes itching. Over time it will become paler and smooth out, but will still be visible. There are cosmetic procedures by which the scar can be almost imperceptible, but they can only take place some time after removal of dermatofibroma. For the treatment of scars are used:

• Injection of steroids directly into the rumen, or the use of silicone gel - to smooth out the scar.
• Laser treatment - helps eliminate redness.
• In the formation of very large scars may require additional surgery.

Acne usually appears on the skin of teenagers. This is due to the fact that during adolescence boys (more), and girls (less, but also happens) there is an increase secretion of the male sex hormone androgen. Under the influence of androgens begins intensively produced sebum increased viscosity and changes in the chemical composition.

This sebum gets into the skin pores, mixes with the surface, desquamated cells (high cell shedding surface epithelium of the skin is also a characteristic feature of the increase in blood androgens) and tightly seals the opening of the sebaceous glands. Then grease tube is covered with dust and dirt and becomes black. So on the face appear dark spots or blackheads Comedones: causes, symptoms and treatment . Inside the tightly sealed sebaceous glands begin to multiply pathogenic microorganisms, which are always present on the surface of the human body. As a result of developing the inflammatory process, which is fast becoming a festering - pimples or acne.

Sometimes these states occur not only during adolescence but also in adult women during hormonal disorders with increased formation of androgens.
