Suggest Treatment For Perifollicular Fibrosis On Face
Question: I am a 37 year old female and have perifollicular fibrosis all over my face. Are there any treatments?
My biopsy showed that I had Perifollicular fibroplasia consistent with perifollicular fibroma
My biopsy showed that I had Perifollicular fibroplasia consistent with perifollicular fibroma
Brief Answer:
Sadly, this is rarely amenable to treatment!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I have reviewed your information totally. This is suggestive of an inflammatory reaction following the treatment. This leads to the production of fibrous tissue which explains the biopsy findings. To say this can be treated means it has to be taken out and that will only give room for more fibrosis. I will recommend you exercise patience and accept any further measures after a well thought process. I will greatly discourage any of such.
I hope this addresses your query though not the exact solution you had wished for. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
