What Could Be The Reason For Having A Pimple Like Thing On The Top Of My Leg?
I have this pimple like think on the very top of my leg. I left it be and it had discoloration around and on it like a bruise. 2 weeks later I poked a hole in it and squoze out some thinned out blood, and I can feel more like a mass under my skin of more? I guess. And it hurts. What is this?

Hi,
Pimple like lesion on leg may be sebaceous cyst or some other skin tumor. I feel you consult dermatologist for fir firm diagnosis. After thorough examination, he would diagnose the condition. If it is sebaceous cyst, then it may be treated by surgical removal under local anaesthesia.This is a minor surgery done in OPD. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
