Treatments: surgical removal.

Often located in areas of increased friction, these skin-colored or brown outgrowths of skin can easily be removed. For the daring, a single growth can be dealt with using grandmother's recipe of tying of a string around it until it turns dark (the next or second next day), followed by liberal application of an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment. If you are not brave, or if there are many growths, they can be snipped off in the office.

2008-06-24 18:56:32I followed the Dr. from Jefferson - Philadelphia. Dr. Ringpfeil is the best dermatologist I have had... and as a psoriasis patient I have had a few of them. For the first time, my skin reacts to treatment. Thank you!
