What Could A Small Hard Spot On My Left Forearm Under Wrist Be?
I have a small hard spot on my left forearm under my wrist, it doesn't irritate me, at first there was some pus but the top of the spot has dried, I have dark skin, so the spot is a bit more browner than my natural skin colour. Should I be worried. It just popped out of no where and I've had it for nearly a month.

Hi
You seem to have developed a superficial infective lesion over the skin.
It has now healed with pigmentation of the skin.
You need to apply a topical skin lightening agent like kojivit cream over the affected areas twice a day .
In addition, you should avoid touching rubbing or scratching the area .
Use a sunscreen over the affected areas before exposure to sun .
Eat lots of fresh fruits and salads .
Hope it helps
