Hi, my name is Julia. I'm concerned about a small, raised bump on my mothers leg, more like the thigh area. It also has a hole in the middle, black and hard around the sides. Many years ago, when I was a child, I remember her being able to constantly squeeze pus out of it. It was a black head that never went away and it was flat on the surface. A doctor a long time ago, said don't bother it, if it's not bothering you. But recent years it has changed. Nothing comes out of the hole now, it's hard and raised. I'm concerned about melanoma. No skin cancer runs in our family. Overall my mom is healthy, non-smoker, African American in get mid 60's.
