Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The black spot what you are complaining of on the leg could be a wart or skin tag.
It does not disappear by any means except for getting it removed.
You can get it done under local anesthesia by chemical or electro cautery.
Kindly contact Dermatologist in this regard for appropriate management.
Wish you all the best.
