Brief Answer:
It is a papule, not suggestive of any disease condition at this time.

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for the image.

This is a papule. Very small and has same color as the surrounding skin. It doesn't suggest any specific disease condition at this time and requires no specific intervention.

My recommendation is to refrain from repetitive manipulation. Monitor the size, color and any onset of new symptoms such as pain or itch for prompt reporting which may require further review and evaluation.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me as you please.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
