What Does A Bump On The Leg Indicate?
I have a crusty bump on my leg that was originally a small cut that hasnt healed past thus crusty stage for a few months. Doesnt hurt or itch. Last night a small, sensitive flaky piece came off easily and bled briefly, stopped, and is now red and looks like it might be developing into a sore. I have a dermatologist appointment in 2 weeks and am worried how bad it could get before it s treated.

Hello,
It may be due to secondary infection, eczema or Koebner phenomenon in psoriasis. Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is.
Apply moisturizer cream, do not remove scaling on it. Please consult your dermatologist so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
