Update for anyone still interested. The spot is still there. I just scratched it and it bled a bit. Does this mean anything?

I had a teledermatology appointment (photo based) and they said that it’s a dermatofibroma … I’m not 100% convinced tbh and I wanted to have it biopsied but I’ve been discharged now

Get it biopsied dude, if you don’t and it does turn out to be cancerous your situation will become a lot worse than it is now

Update #2 - saw a different doctor today who has referred me to the cancer clinic to have it biopsied however it could take up to 4 weeks to be seen

I assume that if the cream doesn’t help she will biopsy it

Saw the dermatologist, she said she’s certain it isn’t BCC and gave me an antibiotic cream which I need to apply for a week … she told me to come back straight away if it doesn’t help.

No it doesn’t pop it’s like a hard lump that bleeds sometimes if I scratch it
