I Got This Spot On My Forearm About A Month
Question: I got this spot on my forearm about a month ago. it is reddish and sometimes itchy. what is it?
Brief Answer:
Possibility of dermatofibroma
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have viewed the image and gone through your query and here is my advice.
I can see a pink/red, raised nodule in this image. I will keep a possibility of a Dermatofibroma which is a benign tumor composed of proliferating fibroblasts. It is believed to be a reaction to minor injury like insect bite or prick. A dermatofibroma is firm and is tethered to the skin. A skin lesion clovelly typical of a dermatofibroma can be left alone as it is harmless.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
