What Causes A Hard Lump With Black Spot At Center On The Abdomen?
Hello and thanks for being here! My 83 year old father just got a 1/2 dollar-sized raised, hard lump on his abdomen (lower left side). The center has a black spot, larger than a pin head, surrounded by the raised area and then red skin in a 1/2 circle beyond the white skin. Not sure if it s maybe a spider bite?

hi.
based from your description, it could be a cystic lesion (specicfically a sebaceous or a keratinous type). it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. medical (proper antibiotic regimen) and surgical (excision) management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
