Kwagga, it all depends on how big it is. If it is as big a your pinkie for instance, the only way to treat it would be surgically. If it is smaller, laser treatment might be an option. If you mail me at CyberDoc@mweb.co.za, I’ll send you the contact details of a surgeon in the east of Pretoria. Good luck.
