Dermal nodule getting bigger? (Photo)

November 8, 2022
Asked By:k_mcm

I saw a private dermatologist 2 years ago who said I had a dermal nodule and it was benign and harmless, even had a second opinion from a plastic surgeon who said the same. However the third photo shows it today where it's dark and has a ring around it now, is it growing? Should I get it removed before it looks worse and how bad is scarring?
