A member asked:
I have a small(ish) black lump under my skin that feels like it is a spot but it has been there for over 2 years, how could i get rid of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get seen: This is probably a dermatofibroma. They often pigment as the macrophages of which they are composed tend to take up iron, and the epidermis overlying them tends to accumulate melanin. If you want to be rid of it, your personal physician can remove it in the office.
