What could be the cause of a dark-coloured bump on my leg, and how can I get rid of it? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi Nur Azmina,

From the picture, this bump maybe a dermatofibroma or even an early scar.

You should see your doctor/dermatologist to get this more closely examined for a proper diagnosis to be made.

A dermatofibroma is a benign growth on the skin. This is not cancerous. Treatment is by surgical excision or removal of the lesion.
