Mark on leg

Hello,
I noticed I had a small mark on my leg the other day, I’ve looked this morning and it’s got bigger. Does anyone know what it could be? I thought I’d just caught it on something but it’s definitely got bigger the past few days. Thank you!

You’ve got, what looks like, an old bruise next to it so I’d assume you’ve caught it. But it does look warty, a bit lumpy.

Keep an eye on it
Do the ABCD of skin issues. It might be nothing at all. I had something similar on my face,so very noticeable. saw dermatologist,who said it was a harmless seborrheic keratitis, removed it with liquid nitrogen, didn't leave a mark. I have had skin cancer (removed) before. Having one removed next week,it didn't look anything like yours. Started off 4 years ago, looking like a pimple, this year has grown, changed shape and is itchy. I have a similar "spot" on my left leg, which freaked me out. Showed it to the GP who said it was scary tissue, been there for over 20 years and hasn't "done" anything. Keep an eye on it, take photos,see if it disappears or changes.

It looks like seborrheic keratitis which I have had a few times but I always check.
