Skin lesion: If the lesion is bothering you, you should see a doctor to discuss methods to get rid of it. Some lesions respond to topical medications while others need surgical excision.

Common : Two common things come to mind. A wart or a sebaceous cyst. Both are benign. See your doctor if its bothering you.
