Mystery lump on my leg

Does anyone have a clue as the docs certainly dont. Had two courses of antibiotics and antibiotix cream. The antibiotics took the swelling and the soreness away but it still persists. Dermatologist at the docs said the only next step is biopsy. So I'll ring back to be seen again for that as its not getting smaller.

Dermatofibroma? I’ve got one on my leg and one on my arse!

No, it’s never caused me any pain, it just seemed to gradually appear over time. I have another one gradually appear on my thigh.

I did a post about three years ago asking the same! Dermatologist said it was a dermatofibroma. I still have it after three years and no change.
