Suggest Treatment For A Hard Black Lump On The Thigh

I have a hard black dot just under my left hip on my thigh. It s not very big and I tried to get it out. but it s deep so I could not. I m almost positive that it s not a tick because it has no head, and I ve seen ticks before this doesn t quite look like it. I also tried methods of extracting ticks from skin and none of those worked. Any idea what is is?

Hi,Dear,Good Early Morning and Thanks for the query to HCM.
I studied your query in details and understood your concerns.
@My impression of your Hard back lump on the thigh-is as follows-
-Could be-Naevus /or Pigmented Mole -is melanocytic hamartoma of skin and are benign tumours and could not be scraped or extracted like you did for the ticks.
Treatment Suggested-
a-Surgical Excision- with primary suturing would get it removed once for all.
b-Laser Ablation or RFA-Radio-Frequency Ablation could be done as optional treatments
This would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
@Hope this would resolve your worrisome query.
