Qustion About A Spot

I have this spot on my leg that started out looking like a freckle.  It got darker and itched then it turned black and I scratched it off.  I thought it was some sort of scab at the time.  It came back.  and now it hurts I scratched it off again without thinking. it isn't more then 2mm in diameter so I haven't been worried about it .  but the pain is really anoying because it is kind of a burning pain I was wondering if anyone possibly knows what is going on? 

If you are worried about this spot go to a dermatologist and have it biopsied.  This will set your mind at ease.

Hi!  I don't want to alarm you but I work for a dermatolgist.  Make an appointment ASAP.  The size doesn't matter.  Best of luck!!

When in doubt, see your dermatologist!! Especially on an area like the legs, which has a high incidence of melanoma. I would see them right away. Even if it turns out to be nothing, it would be better than not going and finding out later you could have done something about it!
