FIBROUS PAPULE
Fibrous papule is a common benign lesion that arises mainly in young adults and remains unchanged throughout life. They are usually asymptomatic, meaning they don't cause any discomfort or pain. They may appear as a small, flesh-coloured or slightly pinkish bump on the skin and are often less than 5mm in diameter. They are usually solitary and normally appear on the nose but occasionally can present on other parts of the face. When palpated they feel smooth and firm.
Fibrous papules need to be differentiated from benign melanocytic naevus (mole) and early Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) which continues to grow slowly.
Treatment of fibrous papules are considered cosmetic and so it is not available via NHS. At Astounding Skin Aesthetics we understand the discomfort and self-consciousness that a fibrous papule can cause. That's why we offer fast and painless removal using electrosurgery with Hyfrecator.
The procedure is quick and straight forward with no downtime and is unlikely to leave a scar. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional care and achieving excellent results.
Dr Chowdhury will inspect your skin during the consultation and confirmed the diagnosis using a dermatoscope before attempting to remove it. He won't perform the removal if he doesn't deem it is safe to do so. A topical numbing cream (if the lesion is small) or a local anaesthetic is applied to numb the skin and minimise discomfort during treatment.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us. We look forward to helping you achieve the look you desire!
