Fibroma Treatment at a Glance
What are Fibromas?
Fibromas are small skin tags and are always benign. They consist of connective tissue and are among the most common skin changes. They usually feel soft, are often skin-colored or slightly brownish, and can be either pedunculated or flat.
Fibromas preferably develop on areas of the body where skin meets skin or clothing. Hormonal influences, predisposition and mechanical stimuli probably play a role.
A dermatological examination and the targeted removal of fibromas is useful for many people – medically, aesthetically or for reasons of personal well-being.
- For newly occurring or changing skin tags
- For fibromas that are repeatedly irritated by friction, clothing, jewelry or shaving
- If you are unsure and want to know whether it is actually a fibroma
- For cosmetically disturbing fibromas on the neck, décolleté or face
- For repeated inflammation, bleeding or pressure sensitivity

FAQ about fibroma treatment
Can fibromas become malignant?
Fibromas are benign skin changes and are medically harmless. According to current knowledge, NO degeneration is to be expected. Nevertheless, every skin change should first be clarified by a specialist. Depending on their location (breast or armpits), fibromas tend to become inflamed. In these cases and for aesthetic reasons, they should be treated or removed.
Can fibromas regress on their own?
Fibromas cannot regress on their own. We recommend that you have every skin change examined by a specialist. In most cases, fibromas can be removed permanently easily and quickly as part of an outpatient treatment. Important: If the skin tags are not bothersome, they do not need to be removed. The prerequisite: a reliable medical diagnosis.
Will scars remain after removal?
In most cases, the area heals inconspicuously. If the treated area is larger, a small scar may remain visible. Since we work in a tissue-sparing manner, we can significantly reduce this risk during treatment.
Can fibromas grow back?
If a fibroma has been completely removed, it usually does not grow back. However, it cannot be ruled out that new fibromas will form on other areas of the skin over time if there is an individual tendency.
How long does healing take after treatment?
The skin usually heals within a few days. Slight redness or scabs in the treated area are normal. At the Derma Medical Clinic in Zurich, we will give you specific and individual care instructions.
