According to Friedrich, it has limited growth potential and does not become malignant. No treatment is required unless it becomes so large as to cause disfiguration or discomfort. If it does, simple excision with a dermal curette after freezing with ethyl chloride or local anesthesia. Control bleeding with Monsel's. Electrodessication can also be used.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
