I have a growth on my shin that isn't colored or solid. it's not cancerous but i'm not sure what it is or could be. any ideas?

Any growth: should be evaluated. Dermoscopy examination or biopsy is prudent for definitive diagnosis unless a physician has seen the lesion before and can give an absolute diagnosis.
