What Are Fibrous Papules and How Can Diathermy Help? Fibrous papules are small, firm, skin-coloured or slightly pink bumps that typically appear on the nose, though they can also develop elsewhere on the face. They are often mistaken for moles and vice versa. Fibrous papules are benign (non-cancerous) growths made up of fibrous tissue and blood vessels.
