Digital (nail) dermatofibroma
A digital dermatofibroma is a benign growth that appears on the skin, often found on fingers or toes. It is typically small, firm, and can be brownish or flesh-colored. These growths are made up of fibrous tissue and are not cancerous. Dermatofibromas can develop due to minor skin injuries, but the exact cause is unclear. While they are usually harmless and do not require treatment, some people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become bothersome. If you notice any changes in your skin, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.
