Worrying about what? Pencil lead is not lead. It is graphite and that is an inert material that will not harm you. If it stained an area of your skin & you want it removed seek out a doctor who could do so.

The black dot is likely staining from the pencil. You may think of it as a tattoo from the pencil. It will eventually be absorbed. If the spot is painful, interferes with some activity, please see your doctor. You are likely to have a larger scar than the current spot if you elect to allow surgery on your hand.

Assume you are asking out of curiosity, as this occurred more than 10 yrs ago, and has just been sitting in place. Why are you worrying, as it merely represents a marker like a scar. Would recommend ignoring it and tolerating it.

Let it be. It will not do any harm. Do not get tattoos, what you have is essentially a tattoo. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
