<human>: HelloI have an ingrown lump on the outside of my thigh. It has been there for months now, its almost the size of a small coin. It does not hurt but it sticks out of the surface of the skin and I can feel the bump from the outside. It looks like a small bruise now as it turned brown over the months. I went to see my doctor and the doctor told me not to worry because it was a benign lump. I wanted  your opinion because I feel like the doctor was rushing and did not spend to much time inspecting the lump. Thank you,I will await your reply
<bot>: Hello! Thank you for the query. It is very hard to tell not seeing it. Generally if it's not a mole, most likely it's a benign lesion (from your description it sounds like a fibrous). Skin lesions (which are not mole like) are mostly benign, and even skin malignant lesion (skin cancer) is nothing to worry about as it acts like a benign lesion (skin cancer rarely gives metastases). The best you can do is to consult dermatologist, have it removed and checked under a microscope. Hope this will help. Regards.
