No treatment is required since the lesion is entirely benign. Some suggest that<unk> s are best surgically excised so as to ensure the lesion does not represent a melanoma. Others say that excision should only be carried out if there is any doubt over the diagnosis, and that<unk> s are managed by simple reassurance about the nature of the lesion. For example, if radio-opaque particles are demonstrated on the x-ray, biopsy is unnecessary.
