What Causes Itchy Black Spots On The Body?
I was in the shower and noticed a black spot, it wouldn t come off, I picked it off and it came off fairly easy and I heard it pop. It is now a little red and very soar. I feel it was a tic bit but not sure. I don t know if there is something in it or not. What do I do.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having a sebaceous cyst.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Only curative treatment is excision under local anesthesia done by a dermato-surgeon.
Thanks.
