Have Dark Small Circles On Ankle And Foot. Healed Scratch On Leg Is Sensitive. Solution?
Hi over the last two weeks I noticed a cople of dark small circles appear on my ankle and foot, they don't hurt or itch and look to be under the skin. I also oticed that I had a couple of small bumps after shaving my legs like ingrown hairs, a couple have turned into scaly circular patches that won't go away. Also on my leg is a scratch I sustained weeks ago that was completely fine and healed but now feels a little sensitive. It's freaking me out

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Annular lesion on skin, appearing to be under skin can be Granuloma annulare.
It is a condition of unknown cause.
Dont worry it will heal on its own,
No treatment is usually required.
If required you can use a mild topical steroid.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.

If the condition persists please meet a dermatologist.
Thank you
