Will skin fibroma turn into cancer?

Dermatofibroma is a benign tumor in the dermis caused by the proliferation of fibroblasts or histiocytes and generally does not become cancerous.

Dermatofibroma is a benign skin tumor, mainly caused by excessive proliferation of skin fibroblasts and excessive production of extracellular matrix. It is mainly manifested as round or oval solid nodules on the skin, ranging in color from brown-red, yellow-brown to dark brown. This tumor usually grows slowly and in most cases will not disappear on its own, but it will not become malignant.

Although the risk of skin fibromas turning into cancer is very low, when the fibromas are large and growing rapidly, they need to be taken seriously and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. The treatment of skin fibromas usually depends on factors such as their size, location, growth rate, and the patient's symptoms. Small, asymptomatic fibromas may not require special treatment and only require regular observation. If the fibromas are large, growing rapidly, or causing symptoms, surgical removal may be required.

Note: Patients should go to the hospital for regular checkups to monitor the growth of fibroids. Avoid repeated scratching, rubbing and other irritating behaviors to avoid promoting the growth of fibroids. Maintaining good living habits, such as a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, and adequate sleep, will help enhance physical fitness and immunity. If you experience any discomfort, you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible and seek help from a professional doctor.
