3. Changes in Texture: The Tactile Tale of Fibromas
Fibromas don’t just announce their presence visually. In many cases, they make themselves known through touch. The skin, which is usually smooth or uniformly textured, begins to show variances when fibromas start forming underneath.
Consider the feeling of tracing your fingers over a piece of cloth. You expect uniformity, but suddenly you encounter a thickened patch or a rough spot. Fibromas can cause similar disruptions on the skin. They might lead to areas that feel noticeably thicker or harder than their surroundings.
This change in texture isn’t arbitrary. It’s often the result of fibroma’s connective tissue roots pushing up against the skin’s surface. This causes the otherwise smooth surface to buckle or thicken, leading to a tactile difference. (3)
