Dark-colored Lump On Leg, Hurts When Pushed On, Increasing In Size. Doctor Needed?
Hello, I am a 19 y/o female who has had a dark coloured lump on her leg for some time now. I ve been meaning to do something about it, but keep forgetting. It hurts when pushed on, it s hard, and bleeds if cut (tried digging it out after assuming it had been a planters wort... that did not go over very well). I don t think it has gotten bigger. I am wondering if I should make an appt. with my local doctor?

Hi,
Yes you need to have it checked since it may be a wart or mole or may be a melonoma.
Its recommended that you have it checked. And have it treated accordingly.
Thanks.
