Surgical or laser removal for dermatofibroma scarring after shaving? (Photos)

March 13, 2022
Asked By:Misshaleyx in California, CA

Please help me, I know this isn’t a mole. I have 2 dermatofibromas on the backs of my thighs. My doctor recommended I get it shaven off (bad move), which left horrific scarring. I’m looking to get it surgically removed, but I’m deeply concerned about it leaving a worse scar. Would you recommend I do surgical or laser removal? Will the scar be extremely noticeable? I have no idea who to trust anymore and deeply need someone’s help. I can’t wear shorts anymore. Thank you in advance
