< Atras Las excrecencias cutáneas son pequeñas masas de tejido que se forman sobre la superficie de la piel. Son generalmente benignas e indoloras y no crecen ni cambian. Pueden encontrarse en cualquier parte del cuerpo, sin embargo, por lo general aparecen en el cuello, axilas, tronco y pliegues del cuerpo. Estas masas pueden extraerse con cirugía por congelamiento (crioterapia) o por cauterización.
