no not itchy. I have had one for over a year on my back and the one that isn't raised as much and then one that is raised more about 4 months or so on my upper hip area.

Brief Answer:
Possibility of dermatofibroma; i suggest excision biopsy

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you

They seem like they could be Dermatofibroma. It is benign tumor of fibroblastic origin. An excision biopsy from the one that is raised would be confirmatory.
