For dermatofibroma usually no treatment is necessary. Simple reassurance that the lesion is benign may be indicated. Intralesional steroid injections can be tried in some cases. Rest assured as it is a benign lesion and not cancerous.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
