A member asked:

Hard pea sized lump next to shin bone, about half way down leg, quite close to a mole, slightly tender if pressed, moves slightly, what could it be?

Dr. J. Lawrence Dohan answered

Dermatofibroma: See a dermatologist. Most likely it is a benign dermatofibroma, but there are other possible diagnoses. An exam, possibly a biopsy will be needed for the answer.

Dr Cremers and another doctor agreed
